I have a Windows 3.1, still working. I think it had a 100mb hard drive. Was fast, clean, and I completely messed up the system :P

I have old pcs that I have since installed linux on and they've never run smoother. One's an IBM netvista and the others Compaq. (I have sworn not to use Dells) But my favorite "old" computer is the powermac g3. The monster is a powerhouse. It has served as a great backup for our main home computer (g4 mdd) and we never turned the thing off.

I'm curious, what Linux distro do you find to work best with older pc's?

[fierce]

If you ask me .. ubuntu ;)

The oldest OS I remember using was Windows 95.

ubuntu does not work well with older pc's. ubuntu is slower than arch on my pc now. ubuntu is considered "bloatware" when it comes to linux along w/ opensuse and others. slackware or archlinux would be the best with (open|black|flux)box if you want a frontend for old pc's, if you know how to install them.
