[00:24] <pvl1> whats a nice lil distro

[02:27] <pvl1> too big
[02:27] <pvl1> i mean in disk space
[02:30] <rmg51> Puppy
[02:30] <waltman> jedijf is really the expert on installing linux on vintage laptops :)
[02:31] <rmg51> DSL
[02:38] <rmg51> Tiny Core
[02:39] <rmg51> http://distrowatch.com/
[02:40] <rmg51> or go through the list ^
[02:41] <pvl1> rmg51: i was using puppy, which i found in distrowatch
[09:34] <jedijf> pvl1: you can install very light builds of lubuntu. preparing for fosscon, i really liked crunchbang, but if you need ultra mini, you really can't go wrong with puppy or one of the puppy offshoots
[09:37] <pvl1> thats for when i wake up sometime in the evening
[09:39] <jedijf> waltman: netbooks in general are too young to be considered vintage yet - LOL - heck, x21 - x31's were netbook-like without the 'marketing' name and are still usable
[10:25] <rmg51> Morning
[11:03] <JonathanD> Morning.
[11:03] <JonathanD> Speaking of fosscon I'm goinmg to tour the venue next week.
[12:36] <ChinnoDog> morning--
[13:44] <waltman> jedijf: so you're thinking that pvl1's netbook is too *new* for you? :)
[13:44] <waltman> which venue?
[13:44] <JonathanD> Franklin institute.
[13:44] <JonathanD> it's not final, but there ya go.
[13:47] <waltman> Huh. A dark horse!
[14:24] <jedijf> waltman: i really should benchmark an x31 vs my acer netbook(arm) and see - like real world stuff - i know web on my x21 is shady, but then again it's running a 4 year old install
[14:24] <jedijf> i should crunchbang them both up and comapre
[17:07] <pvl1> What's fosscon
