Hi folks,
I just finished installing DSL Linux on my tired IBM Thinkpad 365 XD. I have the following system: Pentium II 119 Mhz CPU, 21 MB memory, VGA 80x25, 813 MB HD. That's a pretty minimal system and Windows 98 was choking it to death. The Thinkpad was ready for the trash bin, but now she is cruising along beautifully with DSL Linux. Using the LiveCD it really was too slow, but once I dumped windows and installed DSL the speed became fine again. I don't intend to load down the laptop with much more than what DSL has to keep the load light, and hopefully she'll give me a few more years of service. THANKS for a great program! Anybody working any lower like 486 or 386 machines? I'd love to know just how far we can get this puppy going!
