I guess I'd have to ask what the specs are on the computers. I've been
using Debian on some cheap computers (PII 350MHz with 64-128MB RAM).
I'd like to know what anyone would suggest for a Pentium MMX 166 with
16MB RAM. I'm really not looking to do any upgrades. Can it be done?
My plan is to remove Win95 and give them to some of my students. John
Hebert posted something for a laptop with similar specs. I think Mepis
worked fine for him.
