Looking for the right light weight Distro

by admin ·

I set a project for myself last week to find a light weight distribution that best fit my old, limited on resources IBM T30 Laptop. I have been using #!crunchbang Linux on it for about 90 days, and find it to be an excellent distribution. A lucky find I thank The Linux Outlaws podcast for bringing to my attention.

After a week of trying a number of distributions I think I have found it. Debian Linux (Lenny) with the LX Desktop Environment on top of the Openbox window manager.

I’ll be talking about my adventure all this week. For now I leave you with obligatory screenshot.
