Recycle Old Computers – Lightweight Linux Distros

Linux mascot splash windowsAs always want better, our needs have increased. We find technologies to meet our needs.  New Technologies brought with it new problems.

Hardware or software was dragging behind. Hardware systems, needed a good software and  operating systems. This is not just for personal computers, a rule applies to all areas of the computer system.

Notice, for example, why your computer  is old. Because it slowed down ? When you first buy personal computer, you  entered the internet, you played the game, you used  the printer normally. What has changed. The only change is that you have installed new generation heavy software on your old computer. In fact, it is not intended for that computers, or really not up to expectations despite heavy software is installed.

Here, i will introduce  operating systems (these are linux distros), that you install on your old computer. And your computer  breathe comfortably.

Note: Some spots may require mid-level Linux knowledge.

It is ubuntu based system. That’s why i write top of the article.In addition to use openbox as window manager and a slight element of good. Though i used  not much. I tried just live cd. Although, it recognized usb wireless network adapter. automatically. Because that use Ubuntu based system.

Puppy Linux

In fact, I would have to write puppy linux to the top. Because I used it longest over all the lighweight linux distros. There is not a lot features. The most important plus is when you start running a cd, Puppy is recorded on the RAM itself. When closing the computer, Puppy asks where computer saves settings. When working with the next cd, we can use the same settings. So do not even have to set up your computer.

Xubuntu

One of the official Ubuntu release. Xfce is a desktop manager instead of Gnome as.  Most of the software with the rest of normal ubuntu like.

Damn Small Linux  that I’ve tried first over all the lightweight linux distros. First feature comes to my mind is that’s about  50MB and pioneers of this lightweight linux distros sector.

Arch Linux

Arch Linux isn’t destined to use. Xfce desktop manager and use its own package management system is plus feature. Also I know Arch Linux is a very popular Linux distribution. So it has much more support.

Crunchbang

Openbox is a desktop manager for the crunchang linux. Built on Ubuntu. But crunchbang linux have had some trouble to me. I guess the reason is that the team consisted of one developer.

Conclusion: My advice Xubuntu to who will begin, you do not take too much effort. If you say I’m expert, you can try Arch Linux. I’m planning to use soon is Wattos.
Please share your experience, add another lightweight linux distribution.
