• Re: Lightweight 32-bit distro

    I've got an old Dell D600 laptop that I want to use for a project. I've used lubuntu successfully with older machines in the past, but wondering if anyone has any suggestions of lightweight 32-bit distros that would work well on really old hardware. A GUI would be nice, but isn't necessary.

    I have tested Antix and MX linux in an old ASUS netbook with very good
    results. It's 32bit, debian based, with very good support. You should give it
    a try.

    MX Linux is really good, IMO.. if your wanting a debian distro that is solid I think MX is a great pick.

    It's listed as #1 on distrowatch, which is surprising to me...
