Still Fluffing

One of those evenings again.  Just fiddling about, waiting for the big snowstorm to hit.  Fun.

Did a bit of Linux stuff this evening.  Burned and tested the latest versions of LXPup and Simplicity Linux.  Both seem quite decent.  Of the two, LXPup seems a bit less buggy, but saying that's being a bit rough on Simplicity.   The only major problem I had with the latter was that it wouldn't recognize the hardware volume control on my T430.  I somewhat suspect that might not be a problem on other systems.    I didn't try the "suspend" feature on either system, as I think the later Thinkpads are bit wonky in this regard.  I've got LXPup set up on a thumb drive, and will try it on my X60s later on.  I think it'll work flawlessly there.

I was actually looking for some other systems to try on the junker T43 that I mentioned a couple entries ago.  I have yet to give Wary Puppy a try.  On one of those oddball larks for which I'm famous, I grabbed an .ISO for Legacy OS 4 Mini.  The name "mini" seems a bit of a misnomer, as the image file is nearly half a gig in size.  However, it's supposed to be decent for older systems, so...

(I had thought about getting Legacy OS 2, but the only version I could find in my very quick check was the current "Gamer" release, which comes loaded with older games.  To be honest, I'm not a gamer, and right now I'm only interested in this as a test option, so...)

Kind of wondering about the T43.  Not sure what's causing the freeze-ups after booting.  Possible bad memory?  Something deeper?  I don't know.  Not sure if I'll have time to really look into it till I'm next in.

Too much stuff to do. and not enough time...
