Linux Options

Ok...

In leu of the dual boot os's topic, I've decided to revamp some reading of mine into different Linux distro's. For instance, in my collection I have RH 7.2 Publisher Edition, Mandrake 8.1 (since changed to Mandriva...I know), Ubuntu Christian Edition, Ubuntu 6.06, Sun 10, and finally Fedora Core 6.

The machines that I have are some classics.

Packard Bell 300mhz, 32 mb ram, 3.2 gb hd, one nic, and with 160w p/s.

Homebuilt #1 Slot 1 450mhz, 128 mb ram, 10 gb hd, two nics, and with 250w p/s.

Homebuilt #2 K6 400mhz, 320 mb ram, 6.4 gb hd, one nic, and 250w p/s.

Soyo SY-K7VME based barebone with 350w p/s.

Dell Dimension 2300 1.8Ghz, 256mb ram, 30gb hd, one nic, and 250w p/s XP Home.

Homebuilt #3 AMD 2800+, 512mb ram, 60gb & 80gb hd's, onboard nic, and 500w p/s with XP Pro.

The internet set up I have is a 4.0 DSL with a 4 port router. My plan was to create a W98SE machine with HB #2 as I have a pre-schooler and a few 'learning games'. This machine wouldn't be connected to the net at all.

The Soyo will be the main Linux box with LAMP and Joomla installed being used as a proxy with Ubuntu CE. The other two old boxes will probably have Mandrake 8.1 and RH 7.2 on them for testing.

Your thoughts...
