Now that's "cheap" computing

I extended the life of an old, old laptop I had by installing MEPIS (which is a pretty friendly little Distro).

But I can't seem to get USB drives to behave properly. OTOH, I haven't had a lot of time to mess with it...

whats thew problem with Mepis and USB drive? I have used a seagate 4GB compact mini hard drive for storage and it works fine.... are you trying to boot or install mepis to the USB? OH, DO NOT download Mepis 6 RC2... it STINKS! Wait for the final release of Mepis 6 or get Mepis 6 Beta 3-4 or RC1

I've been using Xandros on a couple of machines. It even comes with a client for windoze remote desktop.

I ran across Linus in 1991 and could see he was on to something. I wish I would have kept those old emails from him. He's a smart boy.
