Why put Windows on it!
And I used to have Red-Hat 7.0 running on a PI-150 with 12mb of ram.
Calum:
:D i'm going to put windows on it because of interest value. i'd like to run windows over freedos, because then i will be running windows as an open source operating system! ;) also, i have only ever used windows 3 in college in 1996/1997 and i am curious. plus i think it would be good to finally see what real DOS is like. anytime i need to do something in DOS (like creating the basiclinux bootdisks for instance) i run into so many things that say 'microsoft windows no longer supports this option, to do whatever you were trying to do, go to the start menu and...' or similar.
as for X on a P75, i am willing to try it, if windows 3 can go on there, then why not linux/xwindows? i won't be putting X on there straight away though, i'll get used to the system thoroughly before i put X on it. but then i won't have disk space for much in the way of a desktop environment so i think i will install only icewm and xfce, which i think will run a lot better than some KDE or GNOME rubbish! :D
i can't wait for it to arrive! another week and a half i reckon before my cheque clears and it's in the post...
Kintaro:
It will run fine, just stick to WindowMaker or twm...
(WindowMaker is teh 1337'st)
Calum:
well as i say, i plan on putting xfce on there, and maybe icewm as well. also, i suspect it will be a 600 pixel screen, which if i calculate right will mean that X need only deal with just over one third of the pixels it would have to generate if i was using a 1024 pixel screen.
Kintaro:
Most likly 640x480@8bpp
That will be fine for twm, and Windows 3.1/11/whatever!
(Why not put NT 3.51 on there)
