I recently was given a very old laptop. Dell Latitude CPi. It has a PII 233 mhz cpu 128mb ram and 2 mb video ram. I believe the machine is close to 10 years old. I decided, due to age, to install FreeBSD 7.2 on it. The install went very well and now I am up and running. I am actually very surprised by the performance of the OS on such an old laptop.
Currently I have installed:
fluxbox
firefox 3
Nano (sorry to all you Vi guys out there, I can't stand using it)
Next I will add open office and Bash.
I wanted to try Ubuntu, but my poor laptop didn't make the min reqs. Can anyone one say bloatware?
And yes I am posting from the laptop right now.
Well I just wanted to share with all the PB geeks out there what I am doing today.
