Good Linux alternative for Windows nt/2k/9x/ME era computers.

This is a version of linux called u-lite. It is based on ubuntu, so it is
completely updatable, and uses the latest programs and browsers easily. It
can use the latest youtube and other flash video sites, for instance,
because it uses a recent version of adobe flashplayer with a modern gecko
based browser, like firefox and kazehakase. Win9x won't do this without
some major hacking.

It uses the lxde desktop so it runs on very low resource computers. You
just need about 32mb of ram, and anything over 486dx with some swap space.
That's all.

I dual booted Windows 98 with various linux for a long time, but I stuck
with mainly Win98 for as long as possible, because many of the linuxes I
used just operated too sluggishly. Unfortunately Win98 got hosed at some
point. I couldn't reinstall it from my oem compaq restore disk because I
had upgraded the hard drive and it would only install on the original
owing to some copywrite protection code. I had to resort to linux. This
caused me to hunt for lighter versions of linux. U-lite thus far is the
best one I have used.

Now some info about linux in general. Like alot of people who resort to
old versons of windows, I don't have alot of money, and linux gives me
access to thousands of good free opensource programs at the end of my
fingertips through synaptic. There are equivalents to most of the
programs I used on Win98, and when it isn't available I can generally run
my old windows 98 programs through a program called wine. I use wine
mostly for my old games.

I am sure there are others. Anyone else had some good experiences
recently with a version Linux?
