I've been doing this for about 25        MK> years now.

I've only been using        different live-CD versions from time to time to test        compatibility and performance on the aging machines that I        have. If/when it comes down to it, I will probably use Mint on        my Thinkpad T60.              I did try Manjaro 64bit on an old Dell desktop a few years ago,        and it performed quite quite will with the NVIDIA video and        supported the 64bit command-set support on basically just 4GB        ram max - but a 32bit OS might be more logical for that one.                                          --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 50/22 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/14 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 110 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 112 134 206 300 317 400 426 428 470 664 700 705 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 263/1 266/512 280/464 5003 291/111 292/8125 301/1       SEEN-BY: 310/31 320/219 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/81 460/58       SEEN-BY: 460/256 1124 5858 633/280 712/848 770/1 902/26 5020/400 8912       SEEN-BY: 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 221/1 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
