Q. I have an old machine kicking around and I want to get linux running on it. It runs windows XP right now but it has very little RAM. I am not very technical at all so any help would be greatly appreciated :)
A. DSL, Puppy or Tiny Core will run on almost any hardware, but, as they are all quickly downloadable, try them all & see which you like best. And don't dismiss any of the "mainframe" sized distros, as they can run well on limited hardware, as has been said.
My old laptop is about to crash and burn need to get new one?
Q. Does anyone out there know what is the VERY BEST of the new small laptop's. I only have this ACER one 2 and a half years and found it very reliable - well up till now.
Have been told that the ASUS Eee PC 1000 is good - is it or is there a better one in the same price range

A. The Acer Aspire One is a really great netbook. Netbooks are basically all the same; dual core Intel Atom processor at 1.6GHz, about 1GB of RAM, Linux or XP operating system, tiny screen, tiny keyboard, and different hard drive ranges.
The Acer Aspire One is a great netbook because you get to customize it to fit your needs. They range from 8.9 inch to 10.1 inch for the screen. The Intel Atom is one of the best netbook processors. You can pick from 512MB to 1GB of RAM. You can choose either the Linux or the Microsoft operating system. And you can choose a SSD or a magnetic hard drive.
My experiences with the Acer Aspire One were great.

Which Linux Distro Should I Use?
Q. I am trying to find the right distro for my old crappy computer:
Intel Celeron M 1.8ghz
512mb RAM
Intel GMA 950
I am looking at these distros right now:
DSL
Tiny-Core
Puppy Linux
Fluxbuntu
WattOS
Do not recommend:
Ubuntu, or Xubuntu, or Ubuntu light.
Preferences: GUI, Somewhat easy to use, Requires 128mb RAM or less to run.

A. With a 1.8ghz CPU and 512mb RAM your options are more open than you might think
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 LXDE (similar in style to GNOME but lighter) which is ideally suited to older hardware and built upon Ubuntu 10.04 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled
Linux Mint 9 LXDE Download

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 LXDE then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation
Linux Mint 9 LXDE can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
