Re: OS choices
I would go with WinXP.

Ubuntu is far too heavy on resourses on it's own (using KDE or GNOME)Darkstar wrote:maybe Ubuntu or some Linux flavor on that Dinosaur .....
Install XUbuntu, this will use the XFce desktop. If this is still too slow to use, install the "LXDE" desktop
Code: Select all
sudo aptitude install lxde

Not by default, you'll have to look into using something like "wine" to run windows programs.kylepaddock wrote:would those work with office publisher?
It's always better to make a clean break though and try find an opensource alternative.
If you don't let go of M$ completely, you'll never be able to appreciate Linux.

Re: OS choices
winXP for the ones running 512 ram or more. win98se for the rest under 256 ram.
My grandpa has a gateway amd 512 ram like the intel one with XP. It is fast booting with AVG on startup.
Ubuntu or xUbuntu for the 256 ram ones will work and run openoffice.

Re: OS choices
Install a stripped down version of XP using nLite. Disable all services that are not needed, i.e. Themes, Messenger, etc...
