Linux Server – Need Advice Fast

by tomsal . Updated 23 years, 4 months ago

Hi. I’ve stumbled across some old computers at work. They are in perfect working order, their only offense being they are old and slow (AMD K6 550 MHZ/128 MB RAM). I want to experiment with Linux applications, I do not have the luxury of a lot of time to invest in getting Linux up and running and actually working.

What is the most “painless” distro to use for a NON-Linux guru?

(PS. My first experiment includes attaching Linux to my Windows network for file serving duties, just so you knowthat I plan on networking it. Also this is just a test phase, therefore I have little to no budget for this. So if not a free solution, I’m looking for the closest you can get to free. 😉 )

Thanks.
