I have an old crappy thinkpad, a pentium I 75 MHz, 32 M ram, minimal hard drive, and no cdrom. Got linux working great on it after a little kernel work. I was very impressed at how much better it runs on linux than that other OS.. --- H. P. Christianson 20 NE Second St. #1005 Minneapolis, MN 55413 (612) 327-6654 hans at friedchicken.org
