| 218588 | 2004-02-27 06:19:00 | hehe... if you can find a linux distro that'll work on it, go ahead. but somehow i dont think it'll like a 60gb hd ]:) |

| 218589 | 2004-02-27 06:48:00 | good luck even getting a basic linux kernel on it. Quite frankly, it is a computer for the bin. |

| 218590 | 2004-02-27 06:56:00 | there will be a distro for it, finding it is another matter but yes. it is a computer for teh bin. its too slow for anything and chances are if yit'll die soon put 95 on it. its teh only thing it'll take |

| 218595 | 2004-02-27 14:37:00 | Well, I used to run windows 95 on alesser beast than that, 4MB is fairly simple, 2 MB is quite a struggle (!) Peanut Linux from about 1999 will run easily enough on that box - even a dual OS setup. It is rather minimal though, but well documented - I learned to get it in to life (having never tried Linux before) with just the documentation in the distro. Have fun, and with 8MB - - good stuff :-) R2 |
