[DC LoCo] installing linux on a pentium 1 toshiba laptop

[Phil Shapiro]

   Someone gave me a Pentium I Toshiba laptop with Windows 98 and 98  
MB of RAM. They asked me to erase all the files on the hard drive --  
so I'll be installing Linux on this donated computer.

   Just curious, has anyone had success installing Lubuntu on a  
Pentium 1 computer? Do you think I'd be better off installing Puppy  
Linux or Damn Small Linux instead?

   Lubuntu says it requires a Pentium II processor. The person I'll be  
giving this laptop to will be using it mainly for typing practice with  
TuxTyping -- and maybe will also do some word processing on the laptop.
