[xubuntu-users] Xu vs. 486DX2

[Robert B. Lance Sr]

moving the HD from computer to computer is really not feasable (can you use a lap top HD in a desktop?) as the installed hardware componants will be different, and require significant reconfiguring when the drives are replaced into thier respective machines.
On possibility that no-one has mentioned (because it is so old-school, I didnt think about it before) is to use lap-link cables to connect the machines (one at a time) to a computer that DOES have a cd drive.

I do not know personally how to set this up in linux
Can someone point the way?

  thanks everyone for the help so far. I think ReactOS is not really what i want but thanks for the suggestion, i didn't know the OS :)

  i did some searching in Distro Watch and found this nice one called Deli Linux, it says that it was tested on a 486 laptop with 16mb and runs smooth nice ^^ but it doesn't says anything about server capinilities so i guess it needs third party stuff... 

  slackware still seems to be the best contestant. i was thinking about using the laptop and the desktop as a multi-cpu system, this can be done with slack right? oh and can slack be installed through a network (or by the "moving HD to another computer" method?) because as i stated before both pc's don't have a CD drive.
