Introducing myself and two questions.

I'm an English speaker living in Argentina and I'm looking for a "Spanish" Linux OS that will on this:
Compaq ProSignia Desktop 320 400 RAM Specifications
Standard Memory 32 MB (removable)
Maximum Memory 256 MB (has 256)
Memory Expansion 2 sockets
Memory Comments PC66 SDRAM DIMMs
CPU Type 400MHz Intel Celeron
Model Comments 66MHz FSB
It has to install in Spanish as my 73 year old mother-in-law speaks no English and it's for her almost as old computer.

1. Will this do it for her?
2. I'll need two of the lightest version going: a 32 bit version for her and a 64 bit version for me if Aalix will run on her machine.

Also - where the conky section! :mrgreen:

I'd try the fluxbox version on that machine but honestly I would not expect to much.

The fluxbox edition is not that light in the end, considering that the applications included are almost the same as with the xfce edition, including firefox and openoffice, which are probably not a good idea with such old hardware. The lxde edition is probably a much better fit since it has a much lighter selection of applications.

I think that flash support should be disabled for better perfomance.
