 Lighthouse 4.4.2 Gives New Life to Old Laptop |
|
I have an old HP 15" laptop that, for some years, has not been able to run any modern OS. Standard Puppy, Ubuntu, they all would gag at some point in the installing or booting process. I finally found old Lighthouse Puppy 3.01 would run on the old dinosaur, and that at least made it possible for to use the machine for online tasks.
More than once, I was tempted to throw the box in the trash in disgust.
For no particularly good reason, I just downloaded and installed the new Lighthouse Puppy 4.4.2, and to my amazement, it works perfectly!
Thank you, Lighthouse, for saving my laptop!

I don't know anything about its CPU, except that it's years old. I do have 1 GB RAM. With as little RAM as you have, you'll probably want to do a full, rather than frugal, install, so the files are on your drive rather than your RAM. I think I'm right about that.
