Rik,

This Connectivity convention is on Tues+Wed when I have to be at work.

And what you are suggesting is not the best way to promote FOSS as
Gnuz has not been registered to display within the event.

Ritchie had a Toshiba laptop with 64 meg ram that debian would not
install on. I am certain that Puppy Linux and Slackware will both
install on this lappie.

Puppy is particularly easy for newbies and can run on as low as 32
meg ram with swap space. Includes mozilla and wine for running MYOB.

Did you hear back from Ritchie?  I can visit his place and
install either puppy or slackware otherwise we can leave it 
till the next Gnuz meeting.

cheers,
keith.
