I have a Fujitsu Lifebook tx770 [Pent 200 MMX maxed out with 96 meg] and DSL is the only linux distro that will load on it. Knoppix 3.3... a very old version, will also load if given 5 minutes. I must say that DSL allows me to use this old laptop rather well. It is acceptably fast, whereas the original os W95 has been obsolete and rife with errors for a while. Wifi even works with an old 802.11B card I have... with NO configuiration requirements once DSL is up. This computer works great for travel when I am on random networks. My new laptop has XP, and I don't want to expose it to the variety of stuff that can happen on public networks. Be happy something works on your old beast. My students laugh when they see my old computer, as it is as thick as their textbook. I secretly laugh when they ask for my help fixing their laptops due to viruses. I help them and then recommend a live cd dsl or knoppix distro.
