Linux On Old Computer

i put a 11 year old linux fedora disc on a computer maybe 10 years old

20 gig harddrive one gig ram


i can get to a few sites but is this a waste of time?

i surely need updates

 

There are many updated distros for old hardware.. like http://www.lxle.net/
http://zorinos.com/download/ or http://puppylinux.com/
32 bit most likely on the old machine. http://distrowatch.com/

 

'on"yes guess its confusing -the dvd disc went into the dvd drive and the info on disc was copyed onto the hardrive

since its just 20 gig drive will these latest versions work?

 

2o gigs should be plenty, they are not as bloated as other OS's. LXE requires 8GB of HD, BTW.
Also Live CDs give you a chance to kick the tires before you install them.
