I just got my hands on an OLD notebook. it's an acer model, here's the =
rough specs from the tertiary site supporting such old machines.

Ah! no cd you say? 540 mg HDD? 8 mg RAM? could it have the original =
win95 install? why YES!!!
the question is, can I do anything with this? test virii? if I could =
get it to play nethack or preferably falcon's eye then 20 hours of labor =
would be worth sitting in bed wasting brainpower on a good character. =
yes, i have no other notebooks.
if it was win 3.1 or 95 i needed, no problems. but how to put linux on =
this thing and what flavor would fit and run, preferably with a gooey?
yes i know falcons eye and nethack run on win95, but i would rather go =
to the ends of the earth than run those. I could learn alot from this =
install.
thanks for you future input,
anthony
