DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: gcc



I've got Knoppix on GetRight, only 3% done and it looks like I can't get anymore until this software patent thing blows over.
I'm using a PII 233 with 128mb ram and 2mb gfx.

Knoppix 3.2 works on my 128 mb ram, 751 mhz cpu! Laptop! :p
If you guys call that old, I hate to think of what you call my laptop - Pentium MMX 233, 64 ram, 3 gig HD, either 4 or 8x cdrom.

I've got even worse one
Pentium MMX 166 MHz
32 MB SDRAM
Some SiS graphics 1MB
20 GB Seagate 4200rpm
15,1" viewable display size...realy big but only 1024x768
CD-RW 10x read 4x write 1x rewrite
Batery remains 1 hour and something (booting takes it :-)

My dad gave it to me because he got IBM ThinkPAD R40 for about $1500 WOW

Try this one on for size:

Pentium-1 60Mhz,  40MB RAM, 4GB hard disk, 2x CDROM, 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives, ATI Mach 64 graphics card, Intel EExpress PRO ISA network card and 14" CTX monitor capable of 800x600x16bit color.

All of which run reasonably well on DSL.  Don't have enough RAM to run Firebird/Firefox from the LiveCD/poor man's install, but it will run Opera 6.12 (using DSL 0.4.8).
