Hey Mike,
Assuming you have a power cord for it so as not to have to rely on the
battery, I'll take it if it's not already gone.
Will get with you tomorrow if you want to email me off list. Thanks....

Dropped on Debris Linux. Pops along pretty good now (no more memory

play in gxine though (sound but no video). Wireless PC card worked
immediately. Quite surprised with that. Linux has come a long way over
the years!

Came across this distro debris. ITs an based on Ubuntu 8.04 and runs
very nicely on aEmachine T1090 900 mhz Celeron CPU, 128 mb RAM
and a 30 GB HDD, I was impressed.
Peppermint OS is another possibility for an older machine.

ubuntu on 256mb of ram? no question why it's slow now lol.
really though, that computer wouldn't be half bad if it was running a
stripped down low memory OS/window manager. just switching from like
gnome/kde to xfce can make an amazing difference.
i don't have a use myself, but know a guy who's in the market for
something like this, i'll let him know. thanks for your post :D
