I've had trouble getting the pcmica network card to work at all and was wondering what distribution is best for old laptops? I'm downloading 4.10 at the moment and will install it soon - but I have doubts that my card will be even be picked up at all. Do the new distros (5.*) have better support for old hardware? Any suggestions appreciated. Chris ===== * --------- C.L.P. echo_anomie@yahoo.com.au --------- * Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies. http://au.movies.yahoo.com
