I searching for a suitable tiny linux distribution which can offer LOCAL parallel port dot matrix printer support with the following configurations.
486, 66 Mhz, 4 MB RAM, 10 mbps NE2000 ISA network card with remote boot roms, 512 KB SVGA Card, Monochrome monitors, 130 MB HDD or Floppy drives and Telnet support. Remote boot support from a Redhat Linux 7.2 server will be very nice. Text mode is enough.
The purpose is to replace the Unix Dumb Terminals using the abandoned old hardwares. The machine must be able to boot and telnet to the server. I searched the tiny/small linux distributions, but none of them detail anything about Local printer support.
Any recommedations on small distros with LOCAL PRINTER SUPPORT?
Zipslack (a mini slackware distribution) should do the trick. Or an older redhat like 6.2. All this hardware is really old and should be quite well supported.
