Good evening Debian User, I have found an old PC with these specs: CPU: Pentium III 700 Mhz; DRAM: 64 MB SDDR GPU: RIVA TNT-2 HARDISK: 10 GB FLOPPY DISK DRIVE MODEM 56K In the receipt is written 3,000 Lire (1,500) Euro of today... Do you think I can install something different than the already installed WIN98 system ?
If the goal is just to experiment then you could run an older version of debian. (I think there's not enough memory for the current install routine.) OpenBSD or NetBSD or a linux distribution oriented toward small systems would run. Nothing will give you a good experience with a GUI and web browser on that hardware. For practical purposes, you'd be better off with a $35 raspberry PI.
