I tried linux years ago on the Libretto and older versions run fine. Modern Linux versions? I think there was a thread recently on this -- you can get it to go, but you'll need to strip out much of the 'junk' and overhead that they come with to get it to run nicely in 64MB of RAM. You can certainly search the Libretto Mailing List archives on this and/or search for "Linux Toshiba Libretto" and I'm sure you will get pages of help on this. That said, I'm still on Windows 98SE because it offers broad compatibility, decent speed, and it's easy to maintain. after all, nothing like an accidental rm -rf / to make life bad =( (PS. Don't run this!!!! Will delete everything off your HD!!!) --- Frouin Jean-Michel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2006 00:38:28 +0100 > From: Frouin Jean-Michel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [LIB] "State of the Art" on OS for the 100CT/64MB RAM > > What about Linux :D ? > > David Chien a écrit : > > Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2006 15:19:37 -0800 (PST) > > From: David Chien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Subject: Re: [LIB] "State of the Art" on OS for the 100CT/64MB RAM > > > > eh, I'm still on Win98SE + Zonealarm 2.6.blah + patches + mcafee 4.03 av + > > seamonkey on my L110 with 64MB of RAM. > > > > Luckily, it all still runs fast enough that I'm still using it for email > and > > browsing, and it does the job fine. > > > > The HD does make a difference, so if you upgrade to a fast 7200rpm 9.5mm > 2.5" > > HD, you will see faster performance.
