Have ubuntu 6.10 on my desktop. Just acquired an old gateway laptop. It has a P3, 10 gb hdd, and 128 mb of ram. Have KDE Ark linux on it now. It's a really simplified distro of linux, but it's the only thing I have that will install on the machine. Ubuntu freezes the system, xbuntu freezes it. Going to give fluxbuntu a try when I go buy some more cd-rs from the store later tonight.

Any suggestions for a distro that would run on the lappy? Have a flash drive with dsl and puppy linux on it somewhere but I'm not too fond of those. I'll just be using the laptop for general internet browsing.

btw.. that dream linux looks pretty nice. Might give that a try on my desktop.
