Hey.
Would it be a good idea to use KDE 3.1 Slackware or other distro on my Dell Latitude LS 400?
It has the following specs:
750MHZ Intel P3
256MB Ram
10GB HDD

personally I'd use something minimal like Puppy, if you Google you'd find distro's that are built specifically for older hardware with minimal ram and hard drive. Of course this doesn't mean Slackware won't work but you're talking a pretty old cpu. And isn't the Slackware with kde 3.1 old, like 2003?

If you want a lightweight Slackware variant VectorLinux Light is recommended here http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linu ... 43541.aspx

here's a list of light weights http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Minimal_Linux_distros

But the thing is... I want something thats KDE.
I just love KDE.

then go for it! I'm just not sure how well on that hw it'll work

I'm sure you won't want it for long...

i have installed debian+ kde3 into a pentium2 350 mhz with matrox millenium g200 8 mb of ram and 256mb of ram it was like xp on that computer not too bad

meh ive installed it on computers somewhat similar to that. Ran fine, as long as you didnt have anything fancy going.

You could also try trinity, which is KDE 3
