Suggest a distro for my old PC.

[Xccentricity]

Installed Slackware 12,

The problem why all the distros were hanging was cos of incorrect horizontal and vertical refresh rates and multiple desktops!



So problems solved!

>Now I have a scroll wheel in my PS/2 mouse but it does'nt work, how do i make it work?


>And by enabling or disabling kernel modules can I increase the speed of my system(loading only modules for my current hardware)?

Believe me. My personal experience. PCLOS 2007 works better under older systems.

My current system is an ancient one...

Sempron 2500+ with just 256 mb ram !

Only PCLOS 2007 worked best in my system out of all the frontline distros

That's not as historic as a P3, is it?

Comapred to what the op has you have a Godly system . Furthermore just using Ubuntu as an example. You can customize it to run much more efficiently if you take the effort. Google Ubuntu for Speed and you should see an article exactly on it. I recall the person who created the article running Ubuntu GUtsy on a 450 Mhz laptop.
