Hi all,
Please suggest me a GNU/Linux distribution with following features:
1. After installing it with CD/DVD, most of packages available for it can
be installed from same or another CD/DVD. High speed Internet connection
should not be required for installing default packages available for it.
Choose a DVD distro. Nowadays there are many livecd distros for Linux.
2. It should not be much resource consuming. Should work on an old system
such as P-IV with low amount of RAM such as 512MB.
Debian or Slackware.
OR i sujjest LinuxMint10
3. Latest version of LAMP related packages should be available on it.
4. It should support Tata Indicom Photon Plus connection.
What does this mean? Is it an ethernet MODEM? USB is hard.
5. Codes of common audio and video format should be available on it by
default.
6. Upgradation process of it should be easy with the CD/DVD of current
version.
Codecs? mplayer can play everything but Debian and mplayer do not get
along.
I had trouble compiling the source. It was failing in some libavcodec
header file.
I wonder. If you can get some deb for it it will be good.
Upgrading?
Why?
Normally I just reinstall when a new release happens.
