I have a Micron Transport XKE Mobil Pentium (one) 266mhx with 64mb RAM. I have Red Hat 8 and open office on it. It's not speedy but it is functional, I'm working on getting some more RAM (from MPC) for it. I believe if I can find 2 - 64mb sticks of RAM I'll have a fast machine (for total RAM of 160mb RAM). I did put another disk in the XKE and installed FreeBSD. I've found FreeBSD to be faster in X with KDE, but I need to spend time configuring it X to get it to run at higher resolution and more colors. FreeBSD is not as easy as Linux to configure. I was at MPC yesterday looking for parts for a Toshiba Satellite Pro 405c (P75 & 8mb RAM) They had a 32mb stick and a the external floppy drive for it ($30 total) I had RH 4.2 on it for a while but have volunteered it for use By a Scouter for His term as Wood Badge Director. It has W95 and Office 97 on it now, when I get it back in September it will get RH 6.2 installed on it :) I also found an RCA cable to connect my XKE to connect to a VCR-TV. I hope to be able to do presentations for Scouting using the XKE with Linux. MPC ROCKS! Sam.
