moonlit Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 hey all - this is kinda pointless, but my curiosity forces me to ask the following question: was the laptop featured in ep#9's thebroken sketch the same one featured in the Microshaft Web 2.0 Framework sketch?

Darren Kitchen Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Wow, I forgot all about that. Yes, same laptop. That was my first ever laptop, a P1 75 with 32MB ram. She was a good machine. Took her to many LAN parties back in the day for some Quake 1 action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 heheh ... they are still good machines, those - most of 'em still work :D oh, and I should think that they (would in theory) make great (read:very cheap) wardriving machines, as long as they have USB or CardBus slots... not sure they'd be too hot for heavy number-crunching work though, so no decryption... *realises he's thinking out loud again and goes away to watch more IPTV* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingwray Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 In theory they make a good wardriving machine, in practise they are too slow. My main laptop is a 300MHz PII with 128MB of RAM, trying to run Whax on it is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metatron Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I have a Compaq Armada 7400 which has a Pentium II 400 MHz and 256 MB of ram, it's running Debian and Fluxbox and runs fine for what I use it for, which is as a web server/ Asterisk box at hacker cons (so it can be abused) and for anything where I don’t what to fuck up my good laptops. Debian is the ideal distro for older equipment as it can be installed of 3 floppies and a network connection and it’s not bloated or processor hungry.

stingwray Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I might have to give debian ago then. I have always used Suse for my Linux machines and that is become a bit big and resources intensive. I'm moving all my servers over to FreeBSD but BSD still lacks something for desktops I feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
