Hi, Flash,How would we know? You didn't tell us anything about your hardware except that it's a notebook. How much RAM does it have?
I've got a Fujitsu-Siemens notebook, PIII 600, 128MB ram, I am not using the harddisk (6GB full of win98-stuff) for Linux but boot from CD and save on usbstick.
Works fine, although i must say that the system freezes from time to time - cursor slows down or hangs completely. In that case a proper shutdown is not possible - I just have to switch of the PC and reboot. That is one of the reasons I wanted to try the latest Puppy-version.
Since I mainly use Puppy for serfing the internet or keep in contact with friends from abroad via skype I could live with these breakdowns. But that was one reason why i wanted to try a newer version of puppy, which I really think is fantastic otherwise - I recommend it a lot to friends.
So what can i do to improve the performance, make the system more stable or use the lattest puppy and skype? Or is it the best thing to do to stick as long as possible tosystem that is working (at least most of the time)? Or should I try an older version of Puppy, and which one?
I would appreciate some advice very much.
