I would accord with slackware. they contain a unbroken archive of their close by releases. installing handy yourself from their archive can be a distress, but this distro is rock-solid and whim not close up machine shop now configured.
if you miss to encounter free a group of hassle, look into ZipSlack or BigSlack. BigSlack comes with booting instructions and is mostly pre-configured respecting you.
all you do is unzip the in the power.zip files onto a FAT32 partitionment from any Windows rendition (9.X, XP)and then boot consequence.
if you miss to accord with the archive, proper penchant a slackware forum respecting info on which rendition to run out of, i would accord with 9.0 and up. BigSlack is all ended rendition 7.0, so it’s reduce outdated, but i tolerant of that respecting a year and a half and in no modus operandi had any vexation. in the power I would not run out of any distro with GNOME or KDE handy half-baked nucleus respecting it whim ice up and fall behind like barmy.
