Which Distribution of linux would be ideal?

Posted on July 20, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I’m looking for a Live CD version of Linux to run a an old laptop. Basically what I want from the Linux distro is some form of GUI and USB flash drive support. It needs to run on these specs:

-Pentium III @ 450Mhz
-128MB RAM
-8MB Video memory
-about 6GB Hard Drive
- Currently runs Windows 98.
- It is a Dell Latitude CPx

So what would be ideal? Thanks for any suggestions.
