   Experienced with very very old laptop

   I am beginner user of linux, routinely using linux Mint in place of windows. In Antix I could not able to install deb files, easily, Even not able to get prompt directly from file browser.

   Definitely run well in less powerful machine. Did not find any drivers issue. I have use external monitor since laptop display was not functional. Pre installed office suite and other software. Got a software stores kind of option able install from there.

   🏁 Competitors: Puppy Linux

   👎 Cons:    Needs little experience for beginners

  There are lighter options, Porteus can is ~300MB for a desktop system. Source: over 1 year ago

• I’m bored of windows. And I know almost nothing about coding or the command line. I want to run a distro off a USB, what should I choose?

  Porteus is also designed for this purpose. Loads into RAM and is very fast. Source: over 1 year ago

• I just bought an old USB key and found two partitions one is empty and the other contains a picture of a couple does anyone recognizes the couple or have any info that can help me find its owner.

  Or use a disposable os in a usb key like this one http://porteus.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A distro to run out of an USB stick

  Porteus is what I've been playing with, as it is impressively tiny, but there are many options. Source: over 2 years ago

• Old 32-bit machines - How can we best keep them relevant?

  Porteus seems to be still supporting 32 bits. Source: over 2 years ago
