Good Day folks,
While I have not seen much on slack here & I have an old Compaq 1260 with a 6 GB HD, 64 of ram & I think it has one usb port ( I'll have it back from the shop next week - power connection problem) I want to use it as a linux box. I know about the use of a swapfile to get around the ram problem but I am wondering if Slack would be an appropriate OS for this older laptop or weather it would be better to install one of the older knoppix eg: 3.6 or 7? Yes I have read all the wiki's and a good part of the material on HD install. I know the risk and assume it willingly. I do have some cmd line ability but I am not proficient and do keep a refference handy. I just don't know all the distros and have never used slackware. I am more familiar with Debian and Knoppix. I also want to learn PHLAK on a system it does not matter if I crash it. Any suggestions from you experts out there? I'd appreciate it.
I Remain~ In Service & In Health,
Captain Cautious
