I've recently bought a T42 in perfect conditions for 40€ and I was wondering which distro would be the best for this shit.
Keep in mind it has only 512 MB RAM.
I've recently bought a T42 in perfect conditions for 40€ and I was wondering which distro would be the best for this...
gentoo
just download more RAM
Debian + xfce
lmao imagine being this retarded
Here's my t43 but it has 2gb ram, gonna put debian on it
Why retarded? Not everyone here live in a first world country....
lubuntu
currently running xubuntu on an x61 with good results
Just upgrade the ram rag
40 sheckels for that? It better be mint condition at that price.
Put in 4gb (8gb if you can spare the change, ddr2 is getting expensive) and a light distro like Debian with xfce and you should have a decent system.
Not.sure if you can upgrade the CPU in that but if so then that's probably a good idea
>euro
Also, people outside of first world don't matter
puppy or damn small linux.
Whatever you do, don't expect it to even be able to browse the modern web smoothly
Win7+ upgrading to 2GB RAM would probably be more useful than a modern distro, those run like garbage even on core duos
lol look at this bullshit

gee, I wonder which one is more useful
the minimal meme distro
>no one has recommended linux lite
The only advantage Wangblows would have is in software support like Adobeshit. He's clearly not going to be doing anything intensive on a fucking T42, so that doesn't matter.
Windows 98
install openbsd
Literally this
Windows XP SP2
Your going to want at least 2gb of ram if you want to be able to use Firefox,
If your ok using a light weight web browser(dillo, etc) 512mb should be enough. Just install a lightweight Wm instead of gnome.
Use any lightweight web browser like dwb, luakit, uzbl. No firefox or chrome. Use light window manager.
links2 -g
has graphics but no JS so no shitposting.
ask me about lightweight apps. I know them all.
Use zRAM
>Windows 98SE
this Unironically
I bought a perfect t43 for 5 burger bucks kek.
I have debian+i3 gaps.

So what? Half of Africa has better computers than that. You could live in Zimbabwe and still earn enough to buy something decent. If you weren't a complete retard that is.
Goodwill computer center.
Windows XP
this
do you have the nice display?
Linux mint has been good for me.
This.
No, really. It will give you the best experience if you set it up correctly.
Weird way to spell WinXP U-SP4
>half of Africa
>clearly never been to Zimbabwe
Well, yeah.. It's to heavy for 500MB
The T43's chipset doesn't support that much RAM, user.
