What would be a good linux to put on a sony picturebook?
Ive just got a sony vaio pcg c1xd, for free from a friend.
Its the perfect size for just quick browzing etc, but its very limited in resources.
Pentium II @ 400Mhz
64Mb built in sdram (noi expansion here 🙁 )
6gb hdd
What would be a good distro to stick on this machine (i have an external cd drive). Im running xubuntu on it atm but this is veeeery slow. I tried installing puppy but it wouldnt install grub properly on the disk…
Also should i replace the noisy 6gb 4200 rpm disk with a 16gb cf card? will this be slower or faster?

If puppy wouldn’t install right, try damn small linux:

Or maybe even put geexbox on it and use it for music and movies:

And I think the hard drive will be faster than the cf card
Try PuppyLinux

(edit:)
sorry, I just realized you said you had trouble with PuppyLinux
Maybe TinyMe would work better for you
