linux recommendations for older pc
- by jdamae
Hi, I'm new to Linux and I am interested in installing the OS on an older computer I have. I want to setup a webserver and install php, perl.
My pc is an older HP Pavillion a255c, Intel Pentium 4 with 512ram. I will probably add some more memory later. This pc is more like a sandbox than anything, but would like to get quickly started with the OS.
Is there a particular flavor of linux I would need to download based on my older computer?
Any recommendations? I was thinking about Ubuntu but not sure what version to go with.
Thanks for your help.
