I see, well, over to the experts then. Thats my point actually.
Its all getting very technical already, thats the trouble with Linux there doesn't seem to be a way for it to become pervasive because every machine target raises unique challenges. It needs a linux expert to predict what will or will not happen when you try to install it. (same with windows but to a much lesser extent). I went for Ubuntu because it worked first time on a 3 year old machine but I admit that is not "old" as such. It did have 256k. I notice the latest version of Winrad uses some pretty fine graphics and detail that may challenge older graphics cards. I guess the only person that can work this out will be Alberto. Another item for the long wish list I guess.
