@rahul:if u r new to GNU/Linux,I wont recommend u to first try these "intermediate to advanced distros" like slackware,gentoo and even archlinux!

you should try "Ubuntu alternate edition" download,install it.
if u want Gnome or kde.

If u are happy with xfce,I'll suggest get Antix Linux,a stripped Mepis based distro.

So,finally it is Ubuntu alternate edition which seems good for u:

^Dude, Ubuntu's gonna crawl on his config.
Did you see that he's got a 700Mhz proccy?Its gonna take ages to boot.

@Rahul, Why don't u try a mini distro first. I suggest u go 4 Nimblex. It also has USB Installer, which can perform install to HDD as well.

Just installed Ubuntu 7.10,

Even here it hangs and when it hangs the keyboard LEDs keep beeping





PS - Which other linux can i use which'll suite this dabba(P{3 700MHz, 256MB ram, intel 810 chipset, ps/2 kboard, mouse, 15" moniter)?

I'll suggest Antix Mepis!

One more thing,

I use a realtek lan card for my pc(dlink),

When i type 'ifconfig -a' it shows eth0,

but when i switch on my router and type 'sudo pppoeconf' it says
'could not find any pppoe access concentrator'.
