And a bit more success, I guess. Just to follow up...
I'm running Puppy Linux in RAM on the T61. It functions. It's, in fact, sort of cute. In an annoying, chewing on the furniture sort of way. I had a hell of a time getting online, simply because I didn't choose the simpler of the two networking tools.
So, this is SeaMonkey, which is stripped down web browsing. This almost makes Chromium look expansive...
Anyway, it's running. It works. I know I can use it in an emergency. On certain systems...
Anyway, again...
My side note: I managed to catch the Masterpiece Contemporary performance this evening on PBS. They were running "Page Eight", an English espionage/psychological/conspiracy thriller starring Bill Nighy, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambone, Alice Krige, Rachel Weisz, and a host of others. I'd caught the last half of it a goodly while back, when it was apparently first broadcast. This time I was lucky enough to catch the whole thing.
Once again, the English run circles around us for good drama. No violence, no car chases, no guns, no studly, dull-witted "heroes". just a collection of exceptional actors with a fine script. That's how it's done.
And, now to put the Puppy to bed, and hit the sack. I've had enough tech for one evening...
