I use Slackware as a router because I don't need all the spiffy options using my non-existant ram. Even disabling services wouldn't matter, as I lost my copies of MDk 8.0 and 9.2 probably wouldn't install with that amount of ram. That router has significant uptime and I don't want to disturb it =p. This discussion is interesting because of the vastly different types of pcs and what they have all running Mandrake without a hitch.

Gowator Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 "3Com Etherlink 900-TPO Ethernet Adapter (pci) Netgear Fa310TX Ethernet Adapter (pci)" WOW is that coincidence or what.... Exactly the same as my router!!! I actually changed one 3com for the netgear just so I could be sure which was eth0 and eth1 !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh123469 Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Laptop I use for work: Compaq Armada 7330 P166 80 meg 2 Gb hd Cisco Aironet 340 PCMCIA wireless ESS audio - not functional S3 Aurora64V+ video at 800x600 I use this system for wireless coverage surveys and security testing. Also use Open Office quite extensively on this system for reports, graphs, drawings, etc. to give to clients. The system is also used as a general network workstation when I am in the office for email, word processing, etc. It's a little slow but much better and more stable than with Windoze on the same system.

marksman Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Mandrake 10ce - I have got it to run on : AMD Duron 1Ghz, (256Mb RAM), EPSON C40SX - no issues at all. Intel Celeron (256Mb RAM) - had issues with the USB printer, an HP PSC 1210 - but that was not an issue with the printer nor the machine but rather with kernel 2.6.3. IBM T20 (700GHz) - I haven't checked out the Winmodem, but I suspect it doesn't work (as always). I have an unresolved issue with Wireless networking - I have a Netgear MA401 PCMICA wireless LAN adaptor & I can't figure out if the problem is PCMCIA or Wireless in general. I have had this working just once - when I inserted the PCMCIA card during the boot sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
