I've got an old Micron laptop with 40mb RAM, 2 gb hard drive. It's been sitting in the closet for a long time. But now with DSL installed I've got a decent working laptop out of it. I just did the regular HD install but I might switch to the frugal install, at least to try it out.
I'm still trying to figure out a few things. For example, I downloaded the Python myDSL package and installed that through the file manager. It'll launch a terminal window and give me the python prompt in interactive mode but I don't know how to make python available in any terminal window so that I can type 'python test.py' and run the program.
I've ordered an older PCMCIA wireless card (Netgear MA401) to hopefully get online. Right now I'm on my Ubuntu desktop.
Anyway, it's great to be able to use the laptop again. I don't plan to do a lot with it but it'll be nice to have a portable linux machine.
