Which Linux version is best for a computer with 500MB of RAM and a 140GB hard drive?

Q. I'm planning on installing this on a older, about 5 years old, computer. It has a processor of 2.8GHz if it helps any.

A. Those are fairly decent specs. however you may want to consider adding a little more RAM to make it 1 gig

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 8 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.10 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

At school, how can you send a message to another linux computer using the linux version of command prompt?
Q. I have been trying to figure out how to send a message to another linux computer at school for a while now by using the linux version of command prompt. I have tried using the write command but it says I have write abilities disabled. I have also tried using smbclient -M accountnamehere and it always says failiure to connect to whatever account I tried to connect to. Any help would be awesome.

A. Maybe you as a normal user just don't have the rights to do so. It's probably so for security reasons.
