dynebolic may not be for everyone.

This is not meant to be heretical, but there are other distributions that may be better suited for minimal hardware situations, etc. The idea for this page was suggested via the dynebolic mailing list

No doubt the format will change - this is only the beginning. For instance, the list below could be (should be?) links to and brief descriptions of these distros.

The following list of distros were suggested as fits for various kinds (please insert description thereof) of low tech computers:

• tomsrtbt (minimalistic distro)
• puppy linux (best for old hardware)
• Damn Small Linux ( damn small knoppix with modules , great!!!)
• Zomp
• yopi
• Kaella (french Knoppix)
• Slax (lightweight good distro )
• Simple Mepis (never tested ... one of the most popular)
• Oralux (for visually impaired)
• Ubuntu live (open source with money popular distro)
• Mandriva Live

• pit3PEER on http://lab.dyne.org/pit3PEER

• Ubuntu PPC

  • http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/5.10/ubuntu-5.10-live-powerpc.iso

    http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-releases/5.10/ubuntu-5.10-install-powerpc.iso

This distro works great on my Quicksilver Dual g4. The installer even automagically configured the "Yaboot" portion that sets up the dual boot between OSX and Linux.
