Love MY instructables? Really? Ha, I thought they sucked... There's about 4 or 5 in the works, and about 8 more that I'd like to make on top of that... Thanks!
hi. I've had a look and and your computer has around 500Mhz processor and up to 256mb (probably 128) RAM, so it's pretty slow but should be able to run Linux pretty well. ;)
Also how do you (if you do) connect to the internet from this computer? some distros. are rather hard for networking.
A live CD (it boots from the CD, no install necessary if you only want to see what it's like) would be very slow, but you also get straight install CD's
I would recommend this one: http://www.pcbypaul.com/absolute/
There's a very popular very lightweight distro. "DSL" http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/
Or if you want a little more eye candy you can try Mepis: http://www.pcbypaul.com/absolute/ though it will run slower than the other two mentioned. ;)
-whatever you do your computer will not become toast. ;) the very worst you just loose all the current data on the hard drive. =) (I do have gtalk, but not AIM. :| )

Ok, thanks. Oh, and I don't have internet from that computer. I like the look of the first one, so I'll probably try it first. We are taking the computer to get fixed later on today, so I'll update you whenever I install it.

I plan to add instructables about making a pvc bipod, home-made relay, taller wooden bipod, fake (if not pathetic) fuse for movies, maybe a electronic, multi-cue igniter system for pyrotechnics, an instructable on electric igniters, turkey feeder out of pvc pipe, and one on emptying aerosol cans.They won't be up right away, because I might not have time, but I'll try. Of course, those aren't the only ones that I plan to do, these are just the ones that came to mind.
I know you've been around for a while, but I realized I never said hello. Thanks for sharing your projects, and welcome to Instructables! Let me know if you have any problems.
