 |
|
Which distro uses lowest system resource (when installed on hard_disk/usb.) where I can install software from Debian OR Ubuntu repository?
I found Quelitu which is based on Lubuntu, but uses less memory as given on their site. There are lighter distros but most of them are based on Slackware. I don't have much experience so want some expert opinion. Thank you in advance.

Have a look at Bodhi, on the DVD155. It comes with very little software on it, but can use anything from the ubuntu repos.
The e17 desktop/window-manager is a bit different to most, and may take a bit of getting used to, but it is lightning fast, and extremely attractive, in my opinion.

| Galpon Minino is built on Debian and will run on a 64Mb machine using around 1.5Gb hard disk space. |

Also look at Puppy-Ubuntu (I think from a recent LXF coverdisk?) as it appears to have a very small footprint but does access mainstream Debian/Ubuntu applications. |

Bodhi Linux looks and sounds great.
Heard Galpon Minino for the 1st time, so will look into it.
I didn't know Puppy has a Ubuntu version.
So, thank you all. It's nice to get variety of suggestions to try and learn.  |

The awkward moment when you have to google how to install bodhi cos you can't see the shortcut...
