Choosing a Linux Distribution

location: linux.com - date: February 28, 2012
After much thought and research, I have decided to install Linux on my laptop. I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 (Intel T2300 @ 1.66GHz, 1 GB of RAM, 30 GB Hard Drive, and 500 GB External Hard Drive). The only thing stopping me at the moment is which distro to choose. I have narrowed it down to three: Ubuntu 11, Linux Mint 12 (as they are both popular and newbie friendly), and Xubuntu 11 (a light-weight alternative for my elderly machine). I would like to give all three a test-drive before settling on just one and am considering installing all three on my machine in separate partitions on the internal 30GB hard drive. All my media (Photos, Music, Documents, etc) are on my external hard drive, so they won’t be affected by the partitioning. From the minimum space requirements I’ve found online, Ubuntu needs 15GB, Linux Mint 10GB and Xubuntu 5 GB. They all have a partition sizing program so I should be able to set up the partitions just like that regardless of the order I install them,

Best Linux distribution for me?

location: linuxquestions.com - date: January 25, 2009
What do you think is the best Linux distro for me? The specifications of what I will be running it on: 2.6ghz Pentium 4 HT (soon to be 3.2ghz) 768mb RAM (will upgrade gradually to 4GB) 32mb nVidia Riva TNT AGP card Integrated AC'97 Audio 120GB HD Intel Pro 1000GT Ethernet PCI card What I want to be able to do: Use blackbox/fluxbox as window manager Set up file sharing fairly easily (and be able to install Netatalk) Video Splicing General Web Browsing/Chat Other than that, there is nothing else that I need to use this computer for. I want the distro to be as quick as possible, and I also do not want to be shielded from using root if I have to. I would like it to be stable too, and have packages that take virtually no effort to install.

Looking for a linux distribution for a really old laptop

location: linuxquestions.com - date: November 15, 2011
My school just felt the need to gave away a bunch of IBM Thinkpad 600E laptops and I thought it would be a nice little computer to have for word processing and a little bit of programming when I'm not at my desktop. Problem is, it came from the school loaded with msdos and I'd really feel more comfortable with a graphical interface, but I can't seem to find a reliable source for a really old linux distribution that will run on it. So does anyone have any links to something that will run it mostly just for word processing? Preferably in an iso. I can do without the ability to actually compile any modern programming if that's too much to ask of this little guy. EDIT: Sorry, forgot to put a note at the original post. I managed to use a cd-rw to install the latest version of damn small linux and it works just fine. Thanks for your help everyone.

Getting the Linux Distribution Name and Version Number

location: linuxquestions.com - date: June 18, 2002
I want to write a script that can run on all the different Linux Distributions (Mandrake, Red Hat, Debian, SuSE, Slackware, Lycoris....) and will print for me the name of the Linux Distribution and its version. The output of the script will be something like: "This machine runs Red Hat Linux Version 7.2" or "This machine runs Mandrake Linux Version 8.2"... I tried using the uname command but that gives only the kernel version number and does not give the name of the distribution. I tried a number of ways to get the information (for example in case of Red Hat there is a file /etc/redhat-release that contains this information) but could not find a general way that will work on all the distributions. Is there a way to do this ? Any suggestions will be of great help. Thanks.
