I think Vector will be purrrrfect in that case. It looks good too, and by looking good, I mean much better than Ubuntu. So you won't be offended by ugly environments in Vector Linux.Rather slackware is better for older systems. Gentoo is good but you need another powerful machine to cross compile the packages.
I'd rather recommend slackware based distro which uses a lightweight WM instead of a DE as the RAM is a bit low for any DE. Like MetalheadGautham recommended, Vector Linux is one good choice. Or you may try out Arch, but that will require you to do a bit more manual work.
*linuxpackages.net/ ?Its fairly simple to use, and there are countless Slackware .tgz packages of software available on the net. There is a site dedicated for it, but I forgot the name.
woops! forgot...*linuxpackages.net/ ?
I only use Slackware based Live CDs occasionallyProves that you aren't hardcore slackware fan![]()
It runs Xfce. The KDE version is the SOHO Edition.Vector Linux runs kde?
so how it can be for older pcs?
Since you are specifically asking for ubuntu based distros you can try gebuntu: *geubuntu.wikispaces.com/Live+CDCan anybody suggest which of the last version of UBUNTU can be installed smoothly on a P-3 PC having 128 MB of RAM. Please give the details of downloading the file also.
lol 64 MB RAM ?Can you suggest a Linux distro for the following System :
Pentium III Processor
450 MHz
64.0 MB Ram
hey u were a slackware guy ?And for one, I am running Mandriva 2006 with KDE on Celeron with 128MB of RAM. I know it's a bit outdated and not really suggested but maybe you can try a newer version and see if it works. Mandriva is a quite easy to use distro.
Yes, that sounds good. Upgrade the kernel. Mostly thats all the upgrade you need to do!And for one, I am running Mandriva 2006 with KDE on Celeron with 128MB of RAM.

Its recomended that you upgrade your ram and make it 128 mb or 256 mb.Can you suggest a Linux distro for the following System :
