I have not been keeping up with hardware and OS changes of late (3 yrs... ok 8 yrs) and i was wondering if there is a better OS to install on older hardware.
Eg Dell inspiron 8100 PIII/866 Mhz
and by better i mean something faster, smaller and less buggy than my recollection of M$ windoze bloatware unless their newer OS solved all the earlier versions ( 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP ...) quirks :}
I was looking for something different /fun/interesting to play with on the old notebook. Does not need to be commercially supported or have a large pool of commercial app knock offs.
thanks for any helpful advice,
robb
