Subject: Good choice of O/S and web browser for old PC




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi folks!


What is the best combination of operating system and
web browser, to
get
decent performance (and functionality) from an old and
slow pc? The
main
task for the computer would be surfing on the web (no
advanced stuff).

Let's say the old and slow pc is something like the
following (common
around
1996):
Pentium 150 MHz
32 MB RAM
2 GB disk.


Feel free to suggest any operating system, but please
also consider the
case
when it is a requirement that the operating system be
Windows; specify
the
Windows version, e.g. "Windows 95B".

If you say the operating system should be Linux,
please also say which
graphical environment (if any) and any other relevant
parameters.

Feel free to suggest any web browser, but please also
consider the case
when
it is a requirement that the web browser be Internet
Explorer; specify
the
version of Internet Explorer.



Thanks in advance,
Göran Halfvarson, Sweden

I would suggest Windows95 and IE 5.  95 has all the
functionality you would probably need and takes up the
least amount of HD space.
