[ale] Building new kernels on old hardware.

[nedj10 at gmail.com (Ned Williams)]

Afternoon aler'ers


I was wondering if anyone on the list has messed with any of the small
footprint distributions and if in doing so made any modern apps work, namely
firefox and jre?

I have been kicking the idea around of picking up an old 266mhz sub-notebook
and just building out the OS enough to facilitate basic function,
browser,ssh, EDGE/GPRS support. The only real question is shrinking the
modern kernal down enough to be happy on a machine with  < 128 megs of ram.

thanks,
Ned Williams
