1. Ubuntu - takes ages to load live CD and then install stops after an

hour or so. 2. Knoppix - Behaves erratically - mouse stops working , key board stops working, monitor complains "out of sync" etc. 3. DSL - works fine but does not work from hard disk or USB.

Processor speed is essential too. However Lenny with KDE works fine on P4 with 256 MB RAM, so Celeron should not be far behind. At the initial boot prompt itself you can choose alternate desktop installations. XFCE will be lighter than KDE.
