Thanks for the responses.
The K6-2 has a slower floating point unit than a Pentium 2 but this is only relevant for some multimedia stuff and 3D action games. But IMHO I have to say that using any recent Linux distribution on such an old computer is no fun, try at least to upgrade your RAM ...

Re: Minimum Hardware Requirements for Salix
Thanks for the reply. :)
Is your PC using the K6-2? I have read that the K6-2 has a much lower performance than Pentium 2 with recent kernels. This is what worries me.
But I may not understand this well. :roll: English is not my native language.
Anyway, I need to get a new cd drive for this pc ...

Minimum Hardware Requirements for Salix
Hi, what are the minimum hardware requirements to run Salix 13.1?
Same as Slackware?
I have an old Compaq 7463 pc with an AMD K6-2 processor, 128 MB RAM, running Slackware 11.0 and I want to install Salix-Fluxbox 13.1, but I do not know if it's a good idea.
Thanks in advance for your advice ...
