Hi, friends!

I would like to get answers about the following questions:

1- Can Linux works fine in 80486 PC? It has CPU=66Mhz, 64 Mb
RAM
2- Which actual version of Linux (in spanish) is
recommended?
3- Which URL can I use to find it?
4- How many CDs I need to burn it?
Excuse me my ignorance
Thanks a lot at advantage!

Linux should work on any x86 computer.
Ubuntu has a Spanish language option (In Many versions of
Spanish, but 
not Cuban).
You can download Ubuntu, or order a free CD here:
http://www.u
buntu.com/getubuntu/download
One CD is all you need. Updates and additional programs are
available 
for download.

The new version Ubuntu needs at least 256 MB RAM. If you
have just 64 
MB, you will have to try XUbuntu

I didn't know about the RAM equirement-it looks as though an
earlier 
distribution might work, or there's a distribution selector
at:

Jorge, first off do you know if this system has an onboard
math 
processor? Some 486 models do not, if it doesn't then you
are out of 
luck as Linux needs it.

There is a Spanish Ubuntu named SILU 
http://www.sof
twarelibre.ulpgc.es/silu which is developed by the 
University of Las Palmas on the Canary Islands. I can't
speak Spanish so 
I hope the page is easy to use. There is this Spanish page
for Xubuntu 
(older hardware Ubuntu) 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstalandoXubuntu_ES
which covers 
installation.

You only need 1 cd for Ubuntu.
