I've spent several hours during the last couple of weeks trying to upgrade my Dell Latitude CPi without actually purchasing another copy Windows XP. I've run various linux distros in the past and was excited to find PuppyLinux, promising multiple small-footprint options that all work with older hardware. Great, just what I needed! Unfortunately I have yet to ONCE get this machine booted up on Puppy, either from the CD or a hard disk install. So I gave up, downloaded DSL, burned to CD, and BAM! Booted and surfing the net in 90 seconds!
What the fahel?!!!
Evidently it didn't have any problems with my ancient mobo and cpu, small RAM and TrueMobile PCMCIA wireless card whatsoever.
Now for the fun part, replacing all my apps.....
