In this new video episode of the OSGUI.com Tech Show I talk about setting up old obsolete computers with Linux to give them new life. I show you how to install, setup, and use Puppy Linux 4.2.1 on a Toshiba Satellite Pentium 3 700Mhz with only 128MB of shared RAM. Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full featured. Puppy boots into a 64MB ramdisk, and that's it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM. Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in its entirety loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly. Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device, CDROM, Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk, floppy disks, internal hard drive. It can even use a multisession formatted CD-R/DVD-R to save everything back to the CD/DVD with no hard drive required at all!
