Does anyone know of a linux desktop distro that can be run on any computer? And by any computer, i mean a really old one that can hardly do anything. And, of course, it needs to fit on a CD. Thanks, (And yes, "Any" is misspelled, however the go advanced button seems to not work.) (Also, the questions megathread just got bumped 5s after i asked this -.-)

I'm pretty sure DamnSmallLinux has been obsoleted. Use TinyCore. VERY lightweight (About 12mb RAM for the whole desktop). [url]http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/welcome.html[/url]
