Environment

Downloaded and burned several distributions from online in the form of iso files and burned to cd. The distro list is as follows:

ubuntu 5.04
kubuntu 5.04
Mandrake 10.1
damnsmalllinux 1.4

at the time of this writing i am downloading:
Knoppix 3.8.2
K12LTSP 4.2.1

The hardware I snagged to work with are

Dell Optiplex G1
P333
64 Megs RAM
6 Gig HD
All peripherals are onboard

Dell Optiplex Gn
P233
128 Megs RAM
2 Gig HD
3rd party Sound and NIC (undetermined of type right now)

These setups are the lower end of the level of PC's we want to work with. Our goal is to develop cheap systems that function nominally.
