"During my extensive tests of operating systems on this
platform, I ended up running the aforementioned OpenBSD 4.2 and
Puppy 2.13, the latter from live CD.
"I'm in Puppy 2.13 right now. I know it's old. I know Puppy
4.something is out now and that the project is in some sort of
turmoil.
"And I've run many other Puppy releases up through the early 4
series, but for this old, slow, memory-poor laptop, 2.13 still runs
the best. I would probably benefit greatly from a new Seamonkey
browser, but my fondness for this particular Puppy release (yep, it
was my first) has me continually returning to it."
