Are there any distros that could run on a pentium 2?

Edit: I am trying to put linux on a compaq armada 1700.
You're viewing a single thread.
@nichtburningturtle I run Arch Linux on a Pentium 2 E5300 and with some system tweaks like using Dwm/St, less than 1000 packages and args on some software it run smoothly.
Did you use an archlinux32 i486 iso?
@nichtburningturtle nah, amd64 official arch linux
Didn't know there were 64bit pentium 2 cpus.
I can't find anything to anything to support their assertion that a E5300 is a "Pentium 2", but the chip is from 2008, so it's not relevant to your situation. Maybe they meant it was a Pentium from the Core2Duo time, but that's still not a "Pentium 2".
My assumption was also that they meant Core2Duo, or "2M cache"
