Hi, I have an old acer laptop which has a 1.7 celeron processor with 512 mb of ram .It is really slow and I want to install a linux distribution for listening to songs and watching movies mainly.I would also be doing some programming. Support for all common formats(divx/xvid/rmvb) is preferable.Fast boot-time would be great too. Which distribution would you recommend keeping all these in mind ? Thanks !
