Bobbins has a laptop with 256Mb with a 10GB drive and CD-ROM drive. I tried loading a couple of different releases (SuSE and Ubuntu) before Bobbins ran out of patience and installed Win2000. The problem with the machine is that in the last five years Linuxen GUIs have started using so much memory they consider machines with "only" 256MB too small. From what I can tell there is no way to run OpenOffice to run on a machine with less than about 500MB. Of course, there are others here that have more experience installing various releases of Linux than I do. If so, I hope they can make a suggestion to get a GUI-Linux running on that machine. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
