Re: [orca-list] Semi-OT: What would be the best distribution for an old netbook, please?

[Mallard <mallard kimabe eu>]

Hello Maksym,


thanks for replying.


I agree on the fact that you have to choose your own distribution; 
problem here is that this old little machine is a 32-bit thingy, 
otherwise I'd have gone for Slint without a blink.


I haven't got enough experience to decide what would urun on such an old 
and weak device, which is why I ask... (smile).


Ciao, thanks again,

Ollie
