Trying antiX at the moment.
The distribution CD is quite a bit larger than Damn Small Linux, and it seems a bit more taxing on my CD drive, as it does a lot of seeking... but I am running it in RAM without a hard drive.

I can say the positive is that it detected my video hardware and everything displays properly.
It runs pretty smoothly and has me up and online with this old Pentium-II WITHOUT a hard drive installed.

Check it out it:

Definitely worth giving a test drive on your old P-II machine.

I finally got around to doing a full hard drive install.

Without doing a long -- detailed writeup about it right now -- I can assure you that it's a Great! little operating system.

I sort of got involved with another project though.. since the time frame for upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10 was running out.. and did a fresh install of Windows 7 (thats another article though)..

I'm not done with antiX yet..not by a long shot.

Expect more information about full hard drive install of antiX in the near future.

For now.. I need to get back to my little experiment.

Later.

If you find that you can't open a new topic or reply to a current after you register, be patient.

For one reason or another I have to manually enable/approve certain handles (nick names) the server doesn't seem to like. I am not intentionally inhibiting anyones ability to share their thoughts and ideas here.
Please don't make me sorry for enabling your ability to post.
While I am open to your posting here, I am not open to unsolicited advertising or pornagraphic materal.
It is pointless to "spam" the site anyhow, as the search engines will not pick up on links from the forums. Search engines will pick up my hard coded ads though.
