I'm fairly new here to pardon me if im not posting in the right forum
ok now that i figured out how to use my old rig as a linux/router box (thx Soul Harvester), i need to know what OS to use
the machine to be used is:
Socket 7 Intel Pentium 166 (non MMX)
ATL OEM-i HX mobo
32mb 72 pin EDO RAM
Sound Blaster 16 sound card
Diamond Media Stealth 64 vid card
Quantum Sirroco 2.5gb hard drive
USR Sportster 28.8kbps modem
floppy and Tatung 8x cd
i dont plan to upgrade except for adding a few NICs. i will ditto the modem since i have an ADSL line.
EDO RAM is extinct so i cant really add anymore, but i may (im using the word very generously here) be able to get 4 or 5 gb hard drive from a friend
so should i go with something like windows NT or 98se? or a linux distro like Red Hat or SuSE? i also come across a distro called Turbo Linux Server, anyone else heard of it?
Thanks in Advance
