Intro: How To: The Power of Puppy Linux On Old Hardware

[ralph1bart]

Have Puppy Linux Slacko 531 (Black Beauty) running with the 106Meg of onboard ram on Compaq Presario 700. Verified, no ram on the sockets! Got the laptop on ebay for $35 total. No OS, boots to curser, as is buy. Using Netgear-N USB stick WIFI, everything else works. I WILL be installing ram. At $15 per Gig, I may get 2G. Think about it, the OS+machine will play DVDs (not full screen), get on line and do my email and banking with 106MEG or ram. It should run quite well with 2G or just 1G or ram.

just 3 question, if you answer "HELL YEAH" i will fucking install it.... does this os uses ext4 filesystem? does wine works? in opensuse 11.3 wine is nothing but crap; may i use blender?... i want to install it in an old hp computer with intel 845 video adapter
