Linux For a Compaq Presario 7476 (OLD)?

I’ve got this old Compaq Presario with: AMD K6 3D, 40 GB Hard Disk, 192 RAM (8 for video). I’ve been spending several hours today with a 7.04 xubuntu Live Cd without success. It couldn’t complete the installation after partitioning: it freeze. The cd runs very slow. I used it because my pc meets the requirements I found at the xubunto web site. My Pc is OK, I’m sure of that. PLEASE: Can anyone tell me what linux distribution can I use for this old pc? I need full internet access (web, mail, etc), word processor, spreadsheet and, if it’s possible, some media. Thank you very much
Ahh, the installation stops in 15%.
I didn’t mention the live CD loads desktop but not the tool bars.
Thank you for your answers guys. A few minutes ago, I found something (here at yahoo answers) about a bug in this xubuntu 7.0.4. I’m looking for the solution now. My installation stops in 15% : “Detecting file systems”. I’ll give xubuntu an opportunity before surrending. HEY LINUX MASTERS: What Can I do?
I’ve been searching. I’ll test the Alternate CD for xubuntu. But I want to try with Small Damn linux, Puppy linux too.
In the past I did’nt like linux but now I’m Interested (I used Unix in a Sun Sparc Station several years ago). Linux people want a Linux World, but all the “easy” guides tha I’ve found about Linux installations… AREN’T FOR HUMANS. That’s a cruel BARRIER. And all that acronyms and modism tech language. When my grandmother cans understand a linux guide, Linux will be ready for dominate the world. Think about it guys.

How to install and use Damn Small Linux?

I have got the .iso file of Damn Small Linux-N. I am currently using Windows XP and want to try it out. How should I go about using DSL-N from here I have no idea. Please explain in simple steps. I’ve heard that it runs from a pen-drive but how? Web search has been of no use as I am very very new to Linux. What is a Live CD and how to create it???

What is the best Linux Live CD?

I want to start using Linux on my Laptop but don’t want to install it, So I want to use Live CD, Which one will let me surf the web and is the most compatible with todays computers and hardware?
My laptop is a P4 1.8ghz 256 MB WiFi 40GB Drive.

what type of linux would be best suggested?

i am wondering what linux version would be the best for me, i am a little bit of a nerd, i am a gamer, i love browsing the web and downloading videos, and i like to listen to music off of the web, and i want to have an ftp program of some sort. and i dont want to bog down on the processor any bit, i do not care for word prosesing or any hexediting programs, i want a music player and video player in it, and if this could all be bundled into a live cd that would be even better! but it doesnt have to.

thanks,
Cory
