I played around with it a bit this week, but it just refuses to “remember” stuff after reboot without serious tweaking. Meh…

I am using Wolvix on a Thinkpad with no cdrom drive – a p3, 600 mhz 256mb ram machine – made in 1998. It detected everything and works beautifully for me. I am a total novice to Linux. But the Wolvix community though small is very helpful and the distro is just one of the best I can say. This is not a dual boot a clean install as I had full confidence in replacing XP with Wolvix.
It plays music, video
Rips dvds copy dvds
creats Pdfs, reads ms office files
has email and PDF reader built-in. I was charmed earlier my Mint as it looks so beautiful. But for small old machines this could be the best.

No, I haven’t solved it, but I haven’t really tried either. I’m still in the process of testing the machine with a few more distros.

Eventually I’ll find my way back to Ubuntu with it, probably in the next few days, and then I’ll give that error better attention. Probably it just needs to be blacklisted, but we’ll see.
