G'day all,
I have an old laptop I'm planning to use at installation sites for a
knockabout test laptop. It's a Toshiba Satellite L10: Pentium M 1.6GHz,
768MB RAM, 40GB HDD, Intel Pro 2200BG WLAN.
I've tried several distributions on it so far, and getting a bit frustrated:
* Ubuntu, Fedora CentOS install and run wireless (critical need) OK,
but /*very*/ slowly
* Lubuntu, Puppy, WattOS Knoppix run pretty quickly, but wireless is
more than a little flaky - and slow to set up if it connects at all.
I'm no longer a newbie, but neither do I want to have to play with
command line configuration of wireless for every access point I set up!
Am I really asking too much for a light distribution that will run
quickly /*and*/ have simple support for wireless? If not, can anyone
suggest a suitable distro?

Universe, they invented boredom./ Terry Pratchet, Hogfather
/The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is
the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a
stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as
good as dead: his eyes are closed./ Albert Einstein
/Stuff your eyes with wonder ... live as if you'd drop dead in ten
seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid
for in factories./ Ray Bradbury
