Bart,
I have a Dell MMX with only a 2 gig hard drive and about 92 meg of memory. It runs Vector Linux very nicely.

Subject: [Nolug] linux on an old laptop
I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 from the MMX generation CPUs. Is there a flavor/incarnation of Linux that would work well with it?
I've been doing some looking online (linux-on-laptops.com ) and it looks like I can put Ubuntu on it. I found an older article dated about 2000 that said RedHat 5.x worked with it (*chokes*).
I know when I first got it, it had Win98 (not even SE, just Win98) and I was able to put NT 4.0 on it (was trying to make it run for someone else before they gave up on it), but not 2000. Any thoughts, insights on how a more updated OS would react with that class of CPU?
BP
