Right now the t23 is doing beta testing duties for AntiX 16. I run a SMC wireless N pcmcia card on it. I also use 2 port usb and 2 firewire port pcmcia card on it also which fills both pcmcia ports. All work after I install. Whether it be Puppy or or anything else.TyroBGinner wrote:Hey rokytnji...
I would love to hear about what optimizations you have used with your P3 to get the most out of it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Oh, and in the spirit of answering Mike Walsh's question, I use Puppy as it is small, light, and portable.

Beta testing the non pea i486 4.4 kernel. My laptop is a must have for the distro team I belong to because of the savage graphics chip. Newer xorg and savge, sis, and via chips do not play nice anymore with the open source savage, openchrome, and I forget the name of the open source driver for the via chip tonight.
I watch videos outside of my browser on youtube using smtube with mplayer but puppy has other players also for that that I am sure other members can mention. I hope that helps you out.
I used to run a A22m IBM P3 with 512MB of ram. But I sold it.

I am 2 screws short of finishing my screwup upgrade on a z60M also.
