I'm very pleased to report that I've installed Suse 7.2 on one of the 32Mb RAM 200MHz machine with the Blackbox window manager, and it works a treat! Thanks to all who suggested it! Quick tests done so far: Konqueror web browsing - works great. Netscape - ditto. Abiword - works fine So the next issue for me is to select a useful range of 'non-bloat' software for the machines. The basic requirements are word processing/simple DTP, spreadsheets, some kind of graphics package (equivalents of !Draw and !Paint for Acorn aficionados) and anything else anyone thinks might be useful for a target audience of year 7 to year 11 kids. It would help if there is not too much of a culture shock involved in moving between the Acorn machines and Windows boxes already in use throughout the school, and some degree of file format compatibility would be useful. I'm happy with konqueror for web browsing, and the teachers and pupils use a web mail system to access their emails, so there is no additional requirement there. Cheers (and thanks again for helping me get this far!) -- Phil Driscoll
