Thank you very much for your opinions!!! I am still very newbie in this...
So in this moment I am considering 2 possibilities: 1. Getting this peanut linux or any other small liux distro - I would apreciate any suggestion, just because I don't have any idea. I have heard that there are PDA's with linux so I can imagine we could try to make something similar. Is it possible to stay with this 4 MB in RAM and take 32 MB of SWAP? Would it be possible? Then use about 100 MB for instalation and the rest for /home...??? Personally, I would prefere this solution. 2. Try a kind of diskless-workstation over LAN conection - I also would apreciate suggestions - I don't have any experince. Can I ask you again about your opinions, suggestions... kind of sites to visit, things to read. Thank you very much...
