Which Low Resource Linux Distribution Should You Use For Your Old Computer?

,----[ Quote ]
| If you have an old machine that no longer has 
| an operating system, you donât have to throw 
| that machine away. You can put it to good use 
| with an operating system that doesnât require a 
| fast processor or big disk drive. Fortunately 
| there are plenty of Linux distributions that 
| will work on your old hardware and run at 
| fairly moderate speeds even if your machine is 
| really old. There are quite a few Linux 
| distributions that donât demand too much 
| resources so that your computer will run 
| relatively fast.
| 
| First of all, you need to stay away from 
| distributions that use Gnome and KDE. These 
| tend to use too many resources for old hardware 
| and will cause the machine to lag way too much 
| for basic applications. Look for these 
| distributions that donât use these graphical 
| interfaces.
