Linux on a low-spec laptop

George,

I am working on installing Debian on an old 486 laptop and I remembered your 
email from August. I just looked through the Linux Journal archives, and I 
cannot find any article that matches your description below. I checked July, 
August, September and October issues and no luck. There was an article in the 
August issue about a guy who attached his wife's DOS 386 to his LInux box - was 
that the article you meant?

Thanks!

Mark

This month's LJ has an article devoted to underpowered computers -
distro and office apps.
