Possible? Theoretically, yes. But, practically, I doubt it. The system is a 12 year old Thinkpad 240X with a 500MHz Pentium and 192MB of RAM. When booting is complete and only the desktop (XFCE) is running, it uses about 125MB of RAM. I don't think it has the resources for anything more advance than Etch really. And then there's the problem of drivers for the old hardware. B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
