I have a simple question. If i was using a Laptop with 16MB of RAM, at the least 100MHz processor speed (a pentium 1 ) how fast would DSL run?

Also, would I be able to run (1) Audacity and (2) a MOD tracker, like soundtracker?

Thankyou very much for helping a DSL n00b!

Someone got DSL to run on a 486 with 8MB RAM. I'm not sure how useful it was. I had trouble using DSL on a P 90MHz with 80 Megs RAM. Only X would freeze though. CLI ran just fine.

You're really pushing it. The truth is, someone might pop into this thread and say, "Oh yeah, I ran those programs you're talking about on that hardware or older just fine." Most likely, though, you're just going to have try it yourself.

As I always say, "What's the worst that can happen?"
