Hello all. It has been a while. Am interested in getting opinions as to which operating system would be best for the above configuration? Will consider MS, Linux, etc. In your recommendation, please include detail as to why your O/S would be best.

It will be run on a Compaq Armada M300 which I just recently purchased with the intention of upgrading to 256MB (will be used to run MS Word or equivalent, MS Excel or equivalent, and listen to MP3s).

After extensive research, I have discovered that 128MB is the maximum RAM the processor can support on this model of Armada.

Am debating selling this one and purchasing a PIII-500/600Mhz w/192-256MB RAM.

Comments?
