    Which OS for an old Pentium II?

    I need to get online a old PII over ICS in my home network, but I hate WinMe, any suggestions? I need to run photoshop on it.
    Thanks

          Win98 would be best.

                      Definately Win98 SE. Win XP on anything less than a P3 causes me physical pain.

                                  i ran win2k for a long time on a PII with 266 MHz - works excellent when you have at least 384 or 512 MB Ram

                                  using SCSI drives helps btw...

                                              I would say BSD personally ;) but you want photoshop, so why not use *nix + gimp

                                                          Win 98 or 2k, with as much ram as you can get. I'd aim for a PhotoShop version from the same era as well.

                                                                      Processor speed wise though there is not much difference.. I run win xp pro on an old 300 MHZ celeron laptop just fine. (With 256 megs ram)
