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?
