[brlug-newbies] Linksys ethernet board question

[c.a. weisheit]

the club is now using PCLinux and Ubuntu in the lab. try these live cds out. With lots of us using these it will be easier to find someone who can help you with problems along the way. However I suspect, they may run a little slow on your system.

DSL and Puppy Linux are great choices also. I have installed them on machines as slow as 133 Mhz 64 mb ram with good results. Due to changes in the latest edition of Puppy, both disros can now get debian packages, which gives you access to a huge amount of free software.

if your having problems with the install, bring the machine to the club, so we can prod and poke it.

by the way, does anyone know, how many debian packages are available now?

 I also have a 40 gig hard drive-new-that I may put in this weekend since the other one is getting older. If I do that, then I may justn leve Windows off,since I don't really  need it,and as I understand it I can do everything on Linux that I've been doing on Windows.

could you tell us:
how fast is the cpu?
