I have an old Compaq laptop with a small 1 or 2 GB HDD, 128 MB of RAM
and probably Pentium I processor that I'm not using for obvious
reasons. I wonder if I can install a distro on it to learn Linux. I
read about this thing called Damn Small Linux but I also need one
requiring very little horsepower to run.
I am not using this laptop, so I have no need to keep Windows on it or
try a dual-boot configuration. I will gladly reformat and install Linux
on the HDD. I've tried the live CDs, but this laptop already runs slow
so I'd rather install on the HDD if indeed this will work.
I have a Netgear wireless laptop PC Card so I would need a Linux driver
to use it. Is that a possibility?
I'm a total newbie, and my eyes glaze over when I hear about GRUB,
SUDO, or any other dirty four-letter words. So please keep that in mind
in your reply.
Thanks,
Relztrah
