A new, old laptop
Dwight dumped an old Compaq laptop on me this weekend. It’s a 133MHz class machine with 64M of RAM and a 2G hard drive. The thing has Windows 98 on it, not even sure if it is SE, and I’ve considered loading some Linux distro on it. The only thing about loading Linux on it is that I’m not ready for a major battle if it comes to that.
The hard drive is more than large enough for me to transfer stuff back and forth from campus … in other words, I can fit a movie or a couple of TV episodes on it. It is short a network card, but John has one that I think I can borrow for a short while, but even if I can’t, they aren’t that expensive.
Thanks Dwight!
