Re: [opensuse] How much memory does Suse need?

I have an old, really old Toshiba Tecra, Pentium MMX 128 megs of RAM. I
had put Damn Small Linux on it (which I must say is an amazing distro if
you have old hardware), but kept having issues with the wireless card
locking up the system. I tried a different card, same results, so I tried
putting on 10.1. Well after a LONG time I got it on there, and although
boot up was slow, using fvwm was not too bad.

Course I found the same issue of lock ups, so I am guessing a hardware
issue on the actual laptop. But it was cool to get openSuse on there.



Kind regards,
