I installed Debian 5.03 on an old P II laptop with 260 k ram and its been running fine. Pointer stick and all, USB and ethernet.

It's still not official yet, but it is in the repositories. Or get the Live CD for LXDE (http://www.lxde.org/) which has Debian under the hood---there's even a USB image already prepped for you. There's Puppy, not sure about Flash support though. I've used DeLi Linux if you're targeting a 486, but I don't think it has Flash.<br>> <br>> <br>> ----- Original Message ----<br>> From: Warren <warren@guano.org><br>> To: clue-tech@cluedenver.org<br>> Sent: Fri, October 23, 2009 6:09:18 PM<br>> Subject: [clue-tech] Recommendation for Lightweight Distro<br>> <br>> Can anybody suggest a lightweight linux distro that can boot off a 1GB<br>> compact flash (on an IDE-to-CF adapter), run in RAM, and supports<br>> Firefox and multimedia apps like flash and mplayer? ...I guess like a<br>> kiosk.<br>> <br>> Normally, I'd just run Damn Small Linux, but it's having trouble<br>> identifying the on-board Intel ethernet adapter on the target machine.<br>> <br>> BTW, if you've never taken a look at xPud (http://www.xpud.org/), give<br>> it a try.
