I have two old notebooks (1 x 900, 1 x 633 MHz PIIIs) with little memory and OEM realtek WiFi cards.
Both are too slow for Windows (came with ME and 98 to me).
I don't need them, but know some people, totally illiterate when it comes to "computers" - all they want is to surf the net and use webmail. Ubuntu 7.10 works quite fine, but still a bit slow for my taste.
I remember reading (about the time 7.10 came out) of a Ubuntu - based distro, extremely lighweight, but still with a pretty GUI.
It was an American distro. Their version 7.10 wasn't ready yet about a week after the official Ubuntu came out.
Anyone remembers (forgot to bookmark the site, and now just kept googling and not finding it again) which one I'm talking about?
Possibly something else, but really dumb - user friendly (these people are not really dumb, just no interest in any tech whatsoever).
Thanks in advance
