Which linux would install on old machines with less memory and also have the bsdgames, console games and other text based games packages on the CD image?
Debian 5 (Lenny) with KDE is light weight and loads on old P4 machines with 256 MB RAM. Even lighter is Lenny with the Xfce desktop. When you boot your system from a Lenny CD or DVD, select the advanced option of using an alternate desktop and select Xfce. After that install your system normally. Later at the tasksel pert, you can even choose to install your system without a desktop.
If you could give your system specs that would help in making a better choice.
