Reformating computer: burninating win xp in favor of linux?

<< < (3/3)

Paperbladder:
Linux doesn't require a lot of RAM or processing power, even crappy little Linksys routers can run Linux.  What does require quite a bit of RAM is the graphical stuff, you may want to try something like LXDE or XFCE as a desktop environment if you find GNOME or KDE to be too slow.

As for distributions: I'd try Xubuntu or Debian with XFCE.  Only if those work should you try something like Arch Linux or Gentoo since those require more configuration in order to get a desktop.

crunk:
I gave installing Ubuntu a shot and spent an gour being stuck at the 'pick a language' screen. I'll probably give it another go on my next day off so that I can just let it do its thing.
