that's not how you do that
if you're running Linux on a shitbox you don't use a DE, you use i3 or something. Or make do without X at all

Parker Roberts
I'm just echoing what people usually line up to tell these kinds of posters to squander their hardware on, I never run a DE on old shit either.

Any minimal distro with Openbox. Or skip a GUI altogether and just use commandline/ncurses programs.
I have a Compaq Evo N600 that's a dedicated music machine with moc for the garage.

id prefer a gui because im too stupid to remember commands. im not even sure the ethernet works. no drivers help on xp and ubuntu didnt connect at all.
is there any modern os's that can run on a pos?
Justin Foster
just put windows 2000 on it nigger
if it's a dell you'll have drivers out the ass on their site
Nathaniel Hall
they dont work on xp so why would they for 2000? I downloaded a copy just for kicks but i think its just broke.
Jace Robinson
because 2000 is probably what that hardware was built to run? are you sure you even downloaded the right drivers? it's OS-dependent you know
Kayden Turner
yep. i download xp drivers. whenever i get a chance i'll do the same for 2000.
they also have drivers for windows 3 to xp, os2 and red hat.
Luis Anderson
actually yes, but embedded gentoo on a USB drive.
or maybe puppy linux
Ryder Adams
OpenBSD is your only answer.

Fag with a slightly older laptop here. Can advise Win98SE or Win2K if you want Windows. If yours isn't as temperamental as mine, you could do XP no problem, too.
Otherwise, there's always Damn Small Linux.

Thanks for reminding me that I have one almost the same as your pic.
Gonna try and revive it.
That box on the left was over the keyboard which is why it doesn't have dust on that part.

Please advise, I would like a challenge.
Working with P2@233MHz, 320MB RAM, only CD and floppy available. Never been able to get it to properly boot from USB.

Thanks.

The motherfucker doesn't say how he did it. And I'm too shit to get any more creative than more google searches.
Blake Moore
I remember reading somewhere else that he whitelisted the CPU on an installation ISO while using the developer preview version.
It would be cool if a Sup Forumsentooman could achieve that t.b.h.
Jason Reed
id rather have an older version or open source
Blake Sullivan
damn, just damn.
I used to have Thinkpad 380XD (P-233MMX/96MB Ram) and it kinda struggled with XP.
But this? Goddamn.
