Disgo Net Broswer 3000

....it has very.....very low specs and currently runs winCE which to be honest is bobbar, so im wondering if i could install a half decent version of linux (just so i can iinstall a decent web browser and a few tiny apps etc) on this 'web book' and if so which distro and how hard would it be?

ouch, an iPod touch is better spec than that thing :O

You might find that you could run a slimline linux like damn small linux, but I wouldn't expect much from it...

Ubuntu 9.04 will probably work too, but again, I wouldn't expect too much...

DSL (Damn small linux) is probably your best bet to be honest...

i would probably go for ubuntu out of the two, ive had a quick blast on DSL before and i dont really like it much, i know i wont get much out of it, but at least i could install a proper browser within ubuntu instead of the version that comes on the winCE which doesnt even support flash websites....

bobbar! not herd that term used in years! lol. Get yaself a cheap lappy :-P

ive got one, what it is, i mite be doin a deal with someone and could take this part ex ;)

Waste of time. 64MB RAM is your problem. Damn Small Linux or Slackware-10.2 might work reasonably well.. so long as you like browsing in elinks, which is no better than WinCE is giving you now. With a nice old 2.4 kernel you *might* get a vaguely usable X running inside 64MB, but dont even bother with a recent 2.6 kernel like you'd find in any current distro, it's a terminal or nothing.

Tested ununtu 9.04 on 64mb an it works.... Just

have a try with puppy linux http://www.puppylinux.org/
