Back playing with the 73's again. Have installed both 7basic and 7 home on this thing. NOT fast at all but good enough for school work of info surfing. Won't boot WattOS R9 32 bit lxde version. Will boot MX14.4 and puppy. Gonna burn a microwatt disc next and try that. So far since I have multiple pupps, if micro doesn't boot, I'll likely use MX14.
CF-29ET, CF-28ST, CF-30G , CF-M34, CF-19Ch, CF-19FH, CF-19CD, CF-73 mk1, CF-74K & H, CF-51RCB, CF-51RCL, CF-52CC .

As long as the deal is good for you it is good for me.

Well took me a few distros to figure out why watt won't boot on my 73's. I need a non-pae version. Doesn't exist.

MX14.4 it is. The little old beast actually is able to play minetest. Can you believe that?
