Building a Linux Desktop, need advice (DISTRO WAR!) by Senor Barborito 03/04/2003, 9:31pm PST OK, V's workplace has decided to become a corporate sponsor of Fight Club and has contributed a 200MHz computer with 64MBs of RAM and 4GBs of SCSI UW HD to us (they gave away the old shit). That is my new firewall, freeing up a 400MHz, 128MB, 10GB OpenBSD firewall on which I would like to install a *nix desktop of some kind. So . . . what should I go with? Gentoo? Redmond Linux? FreeBSD? Slackware? I'm partial to FreeBSD or Redmond Linux myself, but I'm waaaay open to suggestions here so go at it. --SB
