Alexey,              On 10 Nov 2021, Alexey Vissarionov said the following...               AV> PQ> I would recommend an old Puppy Linux, version 4.12 (Linux ver        AV> PQ> 2.6.25).        AV> Never use old software. Even with old hardware.              I don't disagree with you.              OTOH, I first ran that version on a P-II/512Mb (a hand-me-down from the       gardner at work), and whose image still runs now as a VirtualBox VM. It       served as our NAS for a decade, and a few other things (e.g. mini-DLNA       server).              Cheers,       Paul.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Linux/32)        * Origin: Quinn's Rock vBox - sunny-side up on the desktop (3:640/1384)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 90/1 105/81 114/709 120/340 123/131 129/305 221/0       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 702 229/424 426 428 452 550 616 664 700 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 460/58 633/267 280 281 384 410 412 416 509 640/1138 1384       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1       PATH: 640/1384 633/280 229/426           |
