What is the lightest-weight Linux distribution?

I just thought I would see what people thought. I can put XP SP3 on it, and it will run ok - but if there's a linux distro that would run better then I'm all for it. I tried Xubuntu but XP actually runs better, so it would need to be something lighter weight than that!

Any one of these 10 of lightweight Linux distributions should do.

My suggestion is that you try a couple with Live CD's before you choose to install one on the computer.

  • Thanks! I'm going to try Puppy Linux - looks like there are more than a few people who like it. – Eric Mar 07 '10 at 20:01

Windows 2000 :-) but seriously... Check out Damn Small Linux, it'll run like a monster on that machine.

If you still have Xubuntu installed, first try installing and switching to LXDE. It is very lightweight and quite easy to use.
