What's the best lightweight Linux distro?
curaga:
I don't have a PPPoE connection myself, but I remember pasting instructions here before. Anyone with a connection like that could have a test and then set up the wiki.

You missed the point, see title: lightweight
beerstein:
Ubuntu is not a lightweight. - the best lightweights are TC and Puppy/Quirky
It is a good distro and I lile it- but watch out what#s on the
horizon!
Thew will leave the x-server, they will have their own browser and they will
turn away from the desktop PC as we know it for years.
Ubuntu will go after the pad market and we will find us in the dust.
This is my opinion and what are you guys thinking?

Go easy on him. That was his first post ever. :)
Ubuntu can be lightweight: "64 to 128 MB of RAM, less than 1 GHz processor, ... the total installation size is a little under 1 GB." It's an order or two of magnitude greater than an equivalent Tiny Core installation, but less than a full Ubuntu installation. Other examples are out there, too.
