It only has 128MB of RAM (and a 40GB        SS> IDE drive!). What Linux can I install on it?              Have a look at some of the older slackwares at ftp://mirror.cscl       b.uwaterloo.ca/slackware/slackware-iso/ as they have versions nobody else has,       not even slackware. Offhand I'd guess something like slackware-10.0 or       thereabouts should work.               SS> I want to deploy FTN software on it, and a website (with a load        SS> of about zero). Is it even possible?              Yes. How much do you know about installing linux distributions? Also does       the laptop have a bootable CD-ROM? That will make a HUGE difference.              Life is good,       Maurice              ...
