I think I have Ubuntu 8.x on one of the 1.2Ghz GX50's, no internal modem but someone's external serial modem should work.My friends, the Tanners, have expressed some interest in Linux after the usual disappointments with their aging Windows XP installation. Could our group come up with a machine with a beginner's distro (perhaps Ubuntu) for a test-drive? It would need to have appropriate software/hardware for a dial-up network connection. I have one of the old ComPaqs (with Ubuntu 7.?? and a modem) that I could donate, but it is really pretty old technology and not too zippy. I have proselytized them about Linux, including the advantages of free software, inherent security and the near-complete absence of e-mail viri.
