Distributions for older laptopsDistributions for older laptopsPosted Jun 3, 2008 23:51 UTC (Tue) by raven667 (subscriber, #5198)In reply to: Distributions for older laptops by clugstj Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's Guide to distributions for laptops While it is not a Linux distribution, I have personally had good luck running OpenBSD on older laptops, specifically a Dell Latitude CP, of similar vintage. On this system I do not have a CDROM drive, only a floppy, and this was the only OS I could do a network install using a floppy disk and a PCMCIA wireless card.
