User Feedback :: Poll of the Month - October 2005

My DSL system is a Compaq Armada M700. Its a P3 850MHz with 128MB of RAM. It ran horribly with XP Pro but I tried DSL from CD and it did good so I did a HD-Install and this machine runs as well as my homebrew Athlon XP 1900!

Pii 366mhz (pentium not celeron) 288mb of ram(max it'll hold) 12gb hdd, DVD/CDRom, NeoMagic MagicGraph128XD NM2160 agp, 440bx/82443bx motheboard (cant get agp up) all inside a nice lookin Gateway Solo 2500 case with a good lookin 12" tft SVGA lcd monitor.

This laptop has some issues, and may force me into a bloated distro, but i'm going to try very hard to tackle DSL i love what it does, how it does it, and why it was done.

Anyway THANKS for a great distro, I also have a thinkpad similar specs, runs flawlessly on that machine, this one(the gateway) being the problem child is my current favorite, thats me always rootin(hehe pun) for the underdog.

I've assembled a computer using old spare parts and was using DSL 1.4 and 1.5 and just installed DSL 2RC on it. All the three versions run flawlessly on this machine.

It has a 233 MHz Pentium MMX CPU, 128 MB SDRAM, 3.3GB HD, an S3 Virge/DX PCI video card, an SB AWE64 ISA sound card, a Realtec PCI network card, and an HP CD Writer.

Everything works out of the box.

And that's it for our first Poll of the Month.

Yeah, I know it's the 30th, but that's how it's going to be.

PotMs close the next to last day of the month.

Look for November's poll to go up in about 24-48 hours.
