The IBM ThinkPad 360cse is an oldie with very limited resources (486 DX/2
25/50 MHz, 360m HDD, 8m RAM, FDD, dual-PCMCIA, No-CDROM).
I have yet to locate an external CD drive from which I could load a suitable
Debian distro ... I was thinking of Progeny but have to look more closely at
minimum resource requirements.
The purpose of this laptop will primarily be for mobile emergency
communications;
(ARES) Amateur Radio and (DMAT) Disaster Medical Assistance Teams. Apps
will include small databases (the 50KB Java database I read about today
sounds
interesting, mapping (GPS-APRS), RF-data (APRS, Packet radio), etc.
Any chance someone has an external CD drive they can bring to the August 4th
SLUG in NPR? Or perhaps a working floppy-stored Linux distro I could load
there? (I really need something that will support my 3Com PCMCIA 3C589C
Etherlink III nic for those occasions that I need to hook into the e-smith
network
at home.)
Thanks! Doc
