What's a good Linux distro for an older PC?
- by jdamae
I'm new to Linux and I am interested in installing it on an older computer I have. I want to set a web server up, and install PHP and Perl on it.
My PC is an older HP Pavilion a255c, with an Intel Pentium 4 processor and 512 MB of RAM. I will probably add some more memory later. This PC is more like a sandbox than anything, but I would like to get started quickly with the OS.
Is there a particular flavor of Linux I would need to download because I have an old computer?
I was thinking about Ubuntu, but I'm not sure what version to go with.
