How old of a system can I load Breezy?

[Will H. Backman]

Such low end machines can have some useful purposes.  If you have a
network, you can run something like arpwatch.  It is a simple monitoring
application that will let you know when new computers plug into your
network.  Laptops make great monitoring stations.

You could also try using it as an X display.  Run XDMCP on a more
powerful system, and then set up the laptop to use XDMCP to become a
graphical dumb terminal.

thanks for the info.  We'll see how this will go.  I'll have to do a
network install too. There's no CDROM.  Anyone know of any good uses for
such a crappy laptop?  I figured I could at least ssh from my living
room (no wireless, but I can pull a run easily) to my main box.
