| 796121 | 2009-07-29 08:29:00 | I have just been given a Old ibm thinkpad T20 P3. Currently running windows2000, and running it perfectly fine for web purposes. But I'm wanting to put linux on it to have a play around. Will there be suitable drivers around for it. I also have a Dlink wireless dongle(DWL-G122), are there linux drivers for this. Thanks for all your help.:D |

| 796122 | 2009-07-29 08:35:00 | From experience the best way to find out is try and see. I don't know much about drivers but Ive had a pretty old generic computer running ubuntu 9.04 | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 796123 | 2009-07-29 08:42:00 | Try linux mint ubuntu based but more user friendly or try ubuntu possibly the previous version 8.04. I have an old P3 with only 512 of RAM and have run both of those but won't run 9.04, it also runs very nicely with puppy | gary67 (56) | ||

| 796125 | 2009-07-29 09:08:00 | Well its running W2K so I doubt it speedy:p Plod: Ubuntu may be slightly slow on it, but Xubuntu would be perfect Xubuntu has a lighter less resource intensive interface. Blam |
