    Question Linux Distro for old Dell

    I have a Dell Optiplex GX150 by my feet not doing a lot...

    It has a p3 1Ghz cpu, 512mb ram, 40gb drive and a intel gb nic in it

    I want to run the following

    http://www.sugarcrm.com/crm/download/sugar-suite.html

    Which server Distro would work straight away with the nasty onboard video straight away?

    A few desktop distro's i have tried already wont work with it...

    tip, list thouse u've tried already!

    I've never used sugar, i'm not 100% about what i say as such, but it shouldn't require X, so the onboard gfx shouldn't be a problem. However the PHP font lib might require X... depends how its used.

    I put this thread together

    http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=88803

    This lists the popular distros and their support areas - you can check to see if any of these run sugarcrm or have an expereince in running crm.

    I also put some hardware compatability links that will be able to tell you which distros support your hardware out of the box.
