What Linux to put on a dinosaur?

Question

linux

Hello, there is such a dinosaur, documents and PHP will work on it in the browser.
What Linux distribution can be installed on it so that everything works fine?

Answer 1

The browser will not pull.

Answer 2

I doubt that you will be lucky and a user of the same hardware will randomly answer here
Start with extreme ubunt and centos on liveCD / usb
And move through all the distros up to www.damnsmalllinux.org until you get what you need
Without DE on your hardware is quite start extreme server ubunta

Answer 3

In text mode (without a browser, of course) - it will be quite normal.
From undemanding Linux - BunsenLab.
Or - even more nimble, but not Linux - Haiku OS.
But a modern browser needs a lot of RAM.

Answer 4

Puppy Linux , Damn Small Linux , Knoppix if they are still alive. You can also try antiX . You can use the same Debian , especially if you build it manually via debootstrap without DE.
You can save on OP using not DE, but WM - now i3 is in vogue, but you will have to finish a lot for yourself. Well, not to use Chrome and Fox, but some kind of Midori or Pale Moon

Answer 5

Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Arch (if you don't litter), Debian XFCE and many others. For a dinosaur from DE, XFCE, LXDE and terminal are the best.

Answer 6

We go to Google and look at the approximate release time of this mother (determined by the date of the last BIOS for her). Then we go and look for a distribution approximately compatible in time, because nothing from the modern one will work.
DE is only the most lightweight - LXDE, XFCE and others. I like XFCE for the skinniest computers.
