OS for crappy old laptop

Name: Anonymous 2005-02-19 5:31

Ive got a 200mhz pII 64mb ram laptop that i want to play around with, so i was looking for some recommendations for some Linux distros that would run on such a low spec machine. I might try to run win2k or just junk it, but it would be nice to know what kind of options i have.

Okay, thanks for all the suggestions. Right now im leaning toward win2k with liteshell (unless this setup make no sense for some reason). With linux, I am basicially considering Ubuntu since I have very little linux experience and need a very easy to use distro with a good gui and whatnot. I know that it will run like shit on my current setup, but if i were to upgrade the ram to 256mb, would i be able to run Gnome decently, or would the processor be holding me back?
