I just got a screaming deal on a Asus Eee PC (701 non-Surf model) so I'm heading back to 32-bit land!
Anyone have recommendations for a 32-bit lightweight Linux OS? These originally came with Xandros which is now defunct, and I'm looking at alternatives. Needs to be very lightweight, since I have a 630MHz CPU and 512MB of RAM to play with (and a 4GB SSD). I also only have a 800x480 display panel, so not much screen real estate.
My default for older computers (antiX) is still too heavy for this machine. I was looking at DSL, Void Linux, or Q4OS, but I haven't tried any of those options before. I'd love suggestions!
@notthatdelta I haven't checked for a 32 bit version of Q4OS but with a system like this, you may wanna go cuckoo in the awe inducing world of TTY.
So any barebone system will do in that case. I have personal affection for Parabola Linux since I tried it on a laptop the same model as my first ever computer back in 2007 (Asus X50VL). Parabola is an Arch-based, libre distro so the installation process is already a lot of terminal. A Tmux session and some utilities and you're ready to kick ass.
@Wopu ohhh Parabola looks interesting, thanks for the suggestion! I'm still playing around with various other options so I'll add this one to the list.
