I had been looking for the right linux for an old computer. The machine being an ibm 300gl, celeron, 256mb. (my first of 3 computers)I tried a number of os's including Zenwalk, Puppy, and DSL. The problem was Zenwalk and Puppy didn't play video (flash)well. DSL doesn't have flash at all and can only be installed by command. I tried, I failed. So, I give Elive a shot based on it's system requirements. Now my antique machine works just fine.
