Choice is always good and distro hopping is fun. The project is a community continuation of CrunchBang. I am a huge fan of many Linux distributions. Quoting from the homepage: BunsenLabs Linux is a distribution offering a light-weight and easily customizable Openbox desktop.

However when I run lshw -class cpu it says something about a cpu 0 (which is the Celeron) but also gives me -cpu 1 : DISABLEDĪs per request the full output of lshw -class cpu is: lshw -class cpuĬapabilities: boot fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx x86-64 constant_tsc pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl tm2 cid cx16 xtpr lahf_lmĭoes this mean there is a second cpu (core) that can be activated? Can anyone shed some light on this as both the internet and this website's search function seem to come back empty handed. It’s very lightweight, the choice of Openbox as window manager is quite original, and even a non-PAE version is available for download. Fortunately, there are still plenty of Linux distros out there that. I know there have been similar questions in the past and I'm willing to try all suggestions in the answers. Without going any further, there are many distributions, like Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
#Lightweight linux distro non pae install
With these specs I thought antiX-09.2.1_386-base was my best option but it is mind bogglingly slow even before firefox is launched and she would also like me to install Thunderbird. I just put Xubuntu 12.04 on my girlfriend's Gateway laptop that has a pentium dual core 1.6GHz and 1GB of RAM, and it runs very smoothly. SolusOS (Debian-based) have a non-pae version with Xfce. It has a Celeron 3.06Ghz processor, a 80GB HD but only 432 MiB RAM. Salix (Slackware-based) is a possibility: not the latest version 14 with Xfce, but the LXDE one. The project has been turning out slim, sleek and fast distros for over 15 years now. The other base is the one that Slackware uses and uses a non-PAE LTS kernel. Puppy Linux is one of the oldest lightweight distros out there. Finally, this distro has two bases, one of which is using Ubuntu as a base. Youve reached the website for Arch Linux 32, the community maintained continuation of 32-bit support. I'm trying to install a lightweight distro on my sister's old desktop. Ubuntu-based edition works with Ubuntu repos. A simple, lightweight distribution for 32-bit CPUs.
