We run Debian on the older hardware just fine. We use the SuSE for the newer hardware. Nice combination. One time I did use Debian to format the HD and then trick suse to use swap as RAM. This was on a 32M RAM 486DX we wanted to use as a firewall. Dee On Sat, 2003-07-05 at 10:07, Abraham Bloom wrote:
Derek,
I was not overly impressed with Corel Linux. I had problems loading it on older hardware which I noted to them and never saw a resolution. Unlike linuxes like Slackware, many do not support older hardware. Older hardware is ideal for firewall's or small mail servers. I have some documents in WP format, guess I need to load an older machine with slakware to change the format of these documents to something I can actually use again.

'cos they're a bunch of morons. They dangled a Linux version of WP a couple of years ago, took loads of people's money (including mine) then refused to listen when everyone screamed "it doesn't work!". When the screaming got too loud they dropped the product completely, leaving everyone who'd bought it high and dry.
I used to have a lot of sympathy for Corel, but not any more. The sooner they go bust the better. I switched my Windows word processing platform from Wordperfect back to Microsoft Word, I was that disgusted.
