[rjbrewer]

I use Wary 5.3 on my Inspiron 700m. Works good.

I chose i810 driver in Xorg setup for best video playback
with the 855gm graphics.

[Karl Godt]

[mantisdolphin]

You think Racy rather than Wary for an old Celeron like mine?

Thanks everyone!

If you tried Ubuntu...

I would try >> Lupu 528.005
because I think it will run fine.

Or the Libre Office version

LupuLibre 528.005-2 with LibO 3.5.2

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=70855

Download.

Lupu 528.005

And in fact extract the >>>> .sfs file to the hard drive drive
after the first boot...

Don't save first time...
reboot...tremendous speed difference on the second boot

what I call a >>> Cheat Frugal ...like adding extra ram

because when the cd loads...
Puppy will use that file on the hard drive
instead of the cd file....unique to Puppy...

boosting performance
and enabling you to play safely in Puppy without installing.
Save after this boot...256 is fine...4 just testing.

All Puppies from about version 2.02 could do this.

Your >>> .sfs file should appear as lowercase like this
for Puppy to work.

Libre = lupu_528.sfs

So will the standard Lucid 528 version 5 ...= lupu_528.sfs

Cheers Chris.


Save on the second boot

Hi mantisdolphin

My 10yr old Acer 243LC has a very similar spec and is also APM old.

I've found by trial and error that the following Puppy's run well on it.

Here is my menu.lst showing what's on my HDD.

Any of the above IMHO are excellent choices with 256mb ram,
2 exceptions that really need another 128mb ram (380 total ram minimum)
are SimpleD and Attack-Pup. They work in 256mb ram but more is better.

All of the other advice from previous poster's comes from people that are very much more
knowledgable than me and is very good. Try them all.

HTH - have fun - very best regards - Ray.
