Hi all.
I have aquired an old toshiba satalite pro laptop, I dont know what the processor speed is, but it has only 32mb ram and a 2gb harddrive, so Im guessing its fairly old.
At the moment it has win2000 professional on it - which takes up 3/4 of the hard drive and eats up most of the memory.
I know the laptop will never be great, but Im interested in getting it running as best as possible- mainly just for the challenge.
I have been thinking of 3 routes to take:
1/ speed up win2000 by removing certain things
2/ install windows 95/98
3/ install a small version of linux
I would like your advice on which would be the best route to take and basically which option would be likely to give me the best performance out of the computer - with the intention of using it as a word processor and if possible going on the internet occasionally.
Many thanks in advance
