Hello Everyone!

I've recently for work had to install PUP431 to run on an older backup laptop since my other laptop ac adapter was being shipped.

I want to say that this unit on the 1.5GB RAM I had, and the OS, it's running very fast on AMD Athlon 1800+.

I've been able to install the following:

firefox
google chrome
skype
libreoffice
Java/JRE 6
Adobe Flash/Reader
Nero Linux
Wine

Been having issues getting a linux wireshark for this OS, but other then that, the browsers are fast and usable.

I havent gotten into the deeper things, I can't copy/paste from rxvt terminal when telnet to cisco router, but I got another one with unicode I still haven't tried.

I overall really like this OS and model no. as it works with this older machine I've installed to /dev/sda1

I haven't tried to use wireless yet but one dongle i had with 2.4g even windows after driver installs didn't work, so this has still to be setup. I don't know how as well but a GUI configured my eth0 to LAN.

I was using the followin .sh:

#!/bin/bash

# start LAN interface
ifconfig eth0 up

# start eth0 using DHCP
dhcpcd eth0

# exit shell
exit

Hope that quick review was something to entice others to try this, it saved my butt!
