I have an old Compaq 5220 and it runs very slow on windows 98, so i figured i should put linux on it, since it is supposed to be better on less powerful machines, mine is 380 mhz amd k6-II and i think it is burning out. I need to know which version of linux would be easiest for these reasons.

Compatible with my system
*built-in ATI RAGE XL 8 MB
*lite-on 24102b cdwriter
*Linksys LNE-100tx NIC card
Fast
*needs to be fast in e-mailing web browsing and watching streaming video etc.
*uses little cpu
gui
*i need an easy to use gui
stable
*i shouldn't have to restart this but once every two weeks.

ALSO, please tell me where i could get this. I live in the US so if you could send it to me through snail mail i would send you some money through paypal. I have dsl and have no problem downloading it.
