Does someone
here know of a good distro to use (or that actually boots) on
a 586 CPU?
Alexandre,
I can't speak from personal experience, but some resources you might want to
look at:
Distrowatch allows you to search for distros by architecture, etc:
http://distrowatch.com/search.php And here is an oldish web page about "Linux on
Laptops and Notebooks with
TransMeta CPU (Crusoe, Efficeon)", with some links to attempts to install on
a TC1000:
http://tuxmobil.org/cpu_transmeta.html
Lastly, how about Puppy?
Yes, that's true! Puppy is great on older computers! Good idea!
Best regards,
Andy
Thank you Dan for the Debian link!
