Re: Best Distro for an Old Laptop

I had a couple of Dell D600 series laptops in the past. At the time I owned them I was only running 32-bit software and I cannot recall their specs. One of the least capable of the ones I used had only 512 MB RAM. With that particular unit I found excellent results with antiX, but my other systems that I used with the old Dell D600 series ran fine with Debian, MEPIS, MX, or antiX.
I no longer have any of these systems since they were quite old and aging, but in their time they were quite durable, though a bit thick and heavy.
For anyone who has one in good condition, I believe that either MX or antiX would still work reasonably well, better in fact than many other so-called "light" systems.
