One of the reasons I use Linux distros is to maximize some of the older technologies that are still floating around the house. For example, my old HP Omnibook is perfectly capable of running a modern install of Fedora, though it would probably bomb out on anything else at this point. We have an older home built pentium class machine that is destined for my sister-in-law, so I’m seriously considering putting Mandriva on that - it has plenty of power on the chip but not a lot of RAM, so it could be entertaining to see what happens.

I’m in the process of installing the latest version of Mandriva to my HP laptop as a dual boot with Vista, so this should be interesting. If all goes well, I may install it as a secondary distro on this workstation as well (which currently has Fedora 11 running). So far, so good. The installer found the empty space on the drive with no problem and ran through the formatting section in a snap. Though I have downloaded both the gnome and the KDE versions,I am installing the KDE version first to see how it looks.
