Another Distro for low-end and ultra-mini PCs (UMPCs) that might be fun
to play with!
"Linpus Linux Lite is designed to run on low-end PCs with a modest
366MHz CPU, 128MB of DRAM, and 512MB of disk space, says Linpus."

Might be interesting to see how well it runs on some of Don's renown
Linux PC's.
Linpus is also reported to support touchscreen displays out of the box,
so I may have an opportunity to give it a whirl soon. I got Puppy
working nicely on an Advantech Touch Panel PC with a 512MB Compact Flash
card but I was unable to find an on-screen keyboard solution. Linpus,
with it's underlying KDE base, may prove to be a much more complete
solution.
