Wow. Thanks, Joseph! I already have a Puppy download so
I'll burn that, and I'm downloading dyne:bolic. My
"customer" is mainly interested in Internet radio, so
multimedia emphasis sounds hopeful. (But dyne:bolic is
also about *creating* multimedia content. Cool.)
I've tried a few of the others but may plug them in again
to review why I rejected them.
Rather than trying downloading drivers etc. I will first
see if a more friendly distro is the answer. I'll also
try a new CentOS that I happen to have. That's what I
use on my modern home and office machines, but I doubt
it's as good for the old stuff.
But I guess it's also time for me to learn about Universe
and Multiverse, and learn how to configure different
repositories for Debian.
Thanks again,
Vic
