ibm thinkpad 380XD

233Mhz proc - 64 Meg RAM - 1 gig HDD - 12 inch monitor
CD - floppy - battery - serial port - ps2 mouse - 1 USB port

DSL 0.8.1.1

a shitload of apt-get stuff (no open office or firefox)

can't get the damned ps2 mouse to scroll (but happy that's been the ONLY real prob!)

smokin fast...as fast as XP on my $2,000 laptop!

i use it to work around town with...great to travel with as a "work-horse-who-cares-if-it-gets-ed-up-laptop"

DSL is the ONLY system that has installed and worked right away. I have tried Buffalo, Bonzai, Puppy, Feather, Morphix, Vector and Slax. All have been a major pain in the ass. I always come back to DSL and am back "on-line" within 10 minutes!

I would almost like to see a "full sized" DSL that would really pack a punch on these old machines.

Keep up the GREAT work guys

I have it on two omnibook 3000ctx laptops one is a 233 with 32 megs and the other is a 266 with 114megs. it autodetected my netgear ma401 card but wont detect my linksys card. I havent been able to set my sound up yet because I dont know where to start and havent had the time to find out.

I am impressed with how fast it runs on an older laptop/pc, I have looked for a long time for a distro that would work out of the box on my old laptops/pcs and so far this is the first one that meets that requirement, with exeption of sound.

P.S. If anyone could tell me how to set up my sound I would greatly appreciate it. I know all of the settings SB16 IRQ etc. I just dont know were i need to type them in. Thanks

DSL runs on: desktop IBM Pll 233 mhz, ram 64 mb
and laptop Fujitsu Siemens 450 mhz, 96 mb, runs fine,
installation on both pc within 3 minutes !!!
