Hi.
Old desktop to be used for fresh install of Linux based OS.
Currently has Win Xp Home SP3 running on an Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with 496 Mb ram and a 74.5 Gb NTFS hard drive.
No wireless, only LAN, has dvd drive and usb ports.
I am wanting to go all out fresh install jump in with both feet kinda setup.
I have looked at Ubuntu but fear its too heavy for the old box.
I have read a lot about diff distros and just get even more perplexed.
Usage is basic internet and media, photographic processing.
What else to consider for an install for a complete Linux virgin??
