Slax 6.0 on an Ancient Prestigio 109 Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| My first good impression of Slax was documented on my Slax, the Shrunken
| Slackware post. It was with Slax 6.0 RC7, a development release version which
| I tested under VMWare Server. So recently, I decided to take a closer look at
| Slax, by getting the latest “Distribution Release” which is version 6.0.3.
| This time, I’m using our ancient Prestigio 109 laptop to fully check the
| features and capabilities of this tiny distro. By the way, you can get Slax
| from their project website HERE.
|
| This old mobile computer of ours has 1GHz VIA Nehemia processor, 256MB RAM,
| and 20GB hard drive. The hardware specifications may not seem that old to
| some of you, but if you’ll compare these to today’s laptop specs, you will
| agree with me. Just a little history of our beloved Prestigio 109 laptop; its
| original operating system is Windows XP. I decided to install Zenwalk later
| on after my wife complained that XP is starting to run like a turtle. I then
| switched to Ubuntu, then Mepis, and then finally settled with Xubuntu.

| A couple of years ago you reiterated that IBM was Microsoft's biggest

| you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?

| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
