Sergey,              On 11/10/2021 03:44 PM, you wrote to All:               SS> There is a laptop, ancient. It only has 128MB of RAM (and a 40GB IDE        SS> drive!). What Linux can I install on it? I want to deploy FTN software        SS> on it, and a website (with a load of about zero). Is it even possible?              I would recommend an old Puppy Linux, version 4.12 (Linux ver 2.6.25). It       should work in 128Mb; later versions insist on 512Mb. It can provide a full       GUI as it's designed for a community of dumb users with old laptops.              I can send you the .ISO (~98Mb) if you can't find it. Netmail me.              Cheers,       Paul.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.4.0        * Origin: If it itches, it will be scratched.
