Default Good Linux alternative for Windows 9x/ME era computers.

Considering upgrade paths for WinMe users seems to be appropriate here,

What percentage of WinMe boxes out there COULD be upgraded to Win XP and
would it be a rational move for somebody?

Aren't the WinME newsgroups dead enough to make it reasonable to post
upgrade path considerations?

Just as an example, I've got a Compaq Presario 5000US sitting here that
has a really nifty "Designedf for ..WinME" sticker on it but doesn't
have the original Restore CD and was before COA stickers were affixed to
the box as well.

It's questionable whether it's worth buying the Restore CD ($30 or $40
online).

What would you as a Loyal WinME guy
suggest for this beautiful WinME computer?


u-lite linux is perfect for a computer of that vintage.

Won't cost you a thing, and it now comes in a live cd.
