#
#
#Anyone care to recommend a distribution for my laptop. It's a T1910CS
#486/33 with 4Mb RAM and a 200Mb hard drive[1]. I currently 
#have Win3.1 on a
#60Mb partition, Slackware ??? an a 120Mb partition and 20Mb swap.
#
#I don't intend to run X since it takes about half an hour to 
#start up. I
#currently log in through the serial port through a getty but 
#I'd like to be
#able to use telnet and ftp. I'd eventually like to stick a 
#network card in
#and use it for a firewall.
#
#I want to be able to play with perl, c and sql.
#
#I have the following distributions...
#RedHat: 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0
#Slackware: 3 (I think)
#Debian: 1.3.1
#Mandrake: 7.0, 7.1, 7.2
#
#I'm looking for something that will install without too much 
#trouble. My
#desktop OS is Mandrake 7.2 and I'm rather fond of rpms, or 
#should that be
#rpm's. :)
#
#I'm on the digest so please remember to cc me.

#[1] If anyone had some RAM or a Hard Drive for this machine 
#I'd rethink my
#strategy.
