Ineresting... I ended up giving a 128M module from my A21M to my son for
his T21 so I only have 128M left in the machine. I swapped hard drives
as well & it now only has Win2K on it (that's what had come with his
T21). I'd been waiting to get another 128M module before loading Gutsy,
but noticing this thread I've decided to try xubuntu @ 128M...
downloading the xubuntu alternate iso now & will report back on how it
goes :-)
