Unix

how much ram?

128 mb

[gannon]

hmm...not enough for Fedora, so I'd recommend either SuSE or Red Hat. I'd also recommend that you don't use any Debian based linux

[gotchocolatemilk2]

ok any other suggestions

[SpongeBuell]

Try SuSE first, like I mentioned. I would wait a while with Debian, as I have heard it's fairly hard to install, and I believe use as well.

If your looking for a nice large place to download these distros try;

iso.linuxquestions.org
or
Linuxiso.org

Both have a large collection.

And if your have limited ram try out DamnSmallLinux.org I know it was orginally based of Knoppix and so Debian but its been under heavy construction. Its barely like knoppix now and as it only needs a 300mb partion, the iso is 50mb and they have successfully run it on a 486 that can surf the net its not a bad choice. But do note that it doesnt come with many mainstram programs like Mplayer.

Have any of you had a successful install of OpenBSD cause Im stuck after partitioning the drives. I put the kernal information on a cd but it wont boot

[Sparkfist]

Do you have a bootloader or just getting to it by booting with the CD?

As for installing the only thing I can say to help you is to go and read the documentation they have for installation or read the back post from their mailing list, those are the only two sources I can think of.

No I have it all partition. i need to install the filesets and my network is broken so I cant ftp like I wanted to so i burned a cd with the filesets but they wont load. The install is halfway done

[jellywerker]

go with free or openbsd, I have installed almost all linux distros (mainstream, so excluding your uncle bob's version of knoppix and such) and those are the ones I prefer.

I went with open and Im having troblke burning the discs I guess Ill just buy it for $3
