A friend of mine had her windows (98) die a horrible death and she asked me to reinstall it. I told her that I could install a better operating system called Linux instead. Now, this would be fine and dandy, as she doesn't need anything special that Linux doesn't support, but her computer is very old. I haven't been told the specs exactly, yet, but my guess would be something like Pentium 200Mhz 64MB and probably an under 500MB HD. Which distro could I possibly install that will run, will be useable (performance/responsiveness wise), and would still have the basics you'd expect from a desktop - graphical browsing, email, very basic (hebrew) word processing...? Oh, and it needs to support FAT32 as she needs to keep her D drive.
Also note that while I'm not a complete newbie, I'm not extremely linux savvy and would prefer not to spend weeks installing Slackware or roll my own distro :-)
Thanks, Alexander (aka Sasha) Maryanovsky.
