Best (lightweight?) distro for Intel Core2 Duo T7250 2.00GHz, RAM 2046 MB as a Media Server
by 3Jane from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53A60)
Hello everybody!
I need a user-friendly distribution, just works out-of-the-box and for beginners.
I have an old Dell XPS M1330:
Processor: Intel Core2 Duo T7250 2.00GHz
RAM: 2046 MB
HD: 150 GB
Video card: NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
Screen: 800 x 600 x 60Hz
BIOS version: Dell Inc. A14, 19/11/2008
SMBIOS version: 2.4
NIC: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
I'd like to use it as a Media Server on my LAN (I have a Marantz NR 1504 as receiver). If hardware specs don't allow to use it as a Media Server, I'd like to stream video directly to my TV through HDMI.
Which distro would you suggest?
Thank you very much!
