Hi,
Me and my friend are setting up a non-profit in the area to get people's old comps and getting them ready by mix-matching parts and whatnot to give to low income families. So were gonna be putting some version of linux on these computers, they just need the basic things, word processor, internet, instant messenger(gaim), maybe a few little games(card, asteriods, whatever those little built in things), that sorta stuff. So what linux distrobution would be the best to put on these machines? Remember the main thing we want is preformance, because these will be like PII or so machines mostly. Also needs to be easy to install and configure.
I did try out Morphix(a knoppix based thing) with it's light GUI, and KDE versions, but ran into some problems with like setting up internet and that sorta stuff. Does anyone have any suggestions for any alternative linux distro's?
thanks,
Kent
