[Liquid_Scope_99]

Hello all i have a few friends that just wont buy knew computers lol.

Well they asked since that 98 and mi is not supported and there mostly like 350mgz processors and 128 ram.
What version of linux whould be good for a comp like that thanks in advance

I'm no expert but from what I've head, Gentoo and Arch both run pretty well on lower end hardware. You could probably pair one of those distributions w/ a lightweight window manager like, fluxbox. But like I said, I'm not expert, lets see what the real experts say in a few posts.

any distro would do really, not select one with the least ammount of bloat, xubuntu is good for lower end machines with good hardware support,

fedora is quote good but you really need to fight to install any thiung thats no open

I agree with XcOM. Xubuntu is good for low end machines. I used Red Hat 6.2 on some really, really old hardware (Pentium 133 with 32 MB) and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if you can still find pre-Fedora Red Hat 6.2 on the web anymore.
