Before I used DSL, I was actually quite skeptical of how well it would extend - but, as it turns out, it not only converts to Debian or Ubuntu when installed to HD, it actually upgraded seamlessly from kdrive to x.org, handled gcc, several games and development applications, and has all the apps I needed to merge several Debian packages in, while fixing dependancies on the fly... I'm actually surprised that my eTower 566 runs as quickly as my main workstation machine.

Congratulations and thanks.  :)


--------------
System:
eTower 566.12, 32MB RAM, 7GB HD, 200MB swap, 1x USB v.1, Intel 810GFX, Intel 810 Audio.
Recompiled so far: Pretty much everything. I think I'll have to do a remaster to cut the growing bloat off my system.

I had several linux gurus amazed at the system I was running it on at the HAL-PC here (133Mhz 32Meg ram frugal HD install Compaq LTE 5300) switched back and forth between virtual desktops in the blink of an eye!

OH and Welcome to the Revolution!!!

"...once you do that you will never use that M$ crap on that old machine again because you will have a ferrari for a system instead of a steam train!..."

WOW - my lil 166 goes now!
