Ever since windows ra man ud ako nagamit. no idea jud ko basta ubang OS na hisgotan. or what alternative OS na best ani? thanks for the help mga masters...

here is the specs:
P3 750MHz
512Mb Ram
20 Gb HDD (its the 1.8" not the 2.5")
with WIFI

if ever, asa ko kita ug 1.8" HDD adapter?

Copy root files to usb flash drive, boot from usb.

The best para niana is Linux Puppy.

before anything else.. you can always check if mo okay lang ba ang performance.. the only thing you will do is download puppy, slax,ubuntu,xbuntu,etc.. then choose the best.. mas maayo man sad gud na maka experience ka sa lain distro na gusto nimo..

Naa pod ko'y desktop pc nga pupareha ana ug specs. Nasulayan na nako ang Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Elive, TinyMe. Hinay jud siya. Usable pero boring. I also tried Puppy, Zenwalk and TinyCore. Enjoyable na iya performance. Ang problema sa TinyCore kay barebone ra pod kaayo. Daghan pa kang ipang install, itweak. I settled for Linux Puppy. Hangtod karon, nakaPuppy gihapon and Desktop. After a year and a half wa pa jud madaot ang OS. Still running as well as it did since day 1.
