While my frien was ill about 2 years ago. We would joke about his assets and how much I wanted his laptop. It was our way of trying to shed some humor on his renal failure and dire need of a kidney. Well . . .he decided to send it to me and there really is not much that can be done with it. He had XP Pro on it--which was very straining on it--and I decided to put Xubuntu on it. We both decided this would be the year we would boot windows and move over to Ubuntu. I am about 90% converted but have a few issues to iron out on my pc.
Anyhow, as a learning tool and for the experience, I have been toying with his laptop he gave me. This is what we have to work with:
Powerful Intel Celeron Performance, 700 MHZ of blazing fast PIII performance, 24 X CDRom, Dual Scan 13" screen, 64 megs(upgraded to 128) of on board memory (upgraded to 192 megs), a hefty 10 gig hard drive for plenty of storage, built in floppy drive, on board 56K V90 modem, 4 megs on board video, 100 MHZ front size bus, 128 bit PC 100 front side bus, stereo speakers, Wi-Fi compatible, serial port, parallel port, RJ45 jack, 2 PCMCIA slots, 2 USB.
Aside from the futuristic specs, it actually works with Xubuntu as a web browser--if I could get it connected to the Net, however. So I hope you can help.
Thank
