Linux For An Old Laptop
Submitted by srlinuxx on Tue, 07/24/2007 - 13:14.
Today’s tip is for those of you who may have an old laptop which is practically worthless by today’s standards, but still functional. I have such a machine (Pentium 266 MMX, 80 MB RAM, 4 GB HD) which still sports a “Designed for Windows 95″ sticker.
While I could load Windows 98 on the machine, finding the drivers for the devices and my ancient Orinoco wireless card would be more trouble than I care to deal with, so instead I looked for a lightweight Linux distribution. The one I found was Puppy Linux.
