2 old Pentium Laptops... P1 & a P2...low memory and very low ram.. Is there a way I can made 1 of my Pc's on my network a Boot PC thru lan for these laptops to run windows and internet.. I been reading about Ubutum...
I guess easiest way is make 1 of my PC's like a server for the 2 old laptops to run from.... I know something like this is possible but how to get started is my problem.
Start one of the laptops, and enter "BIOS SETUP". Check the "boot" options, to confirm that "booting from network" is an available option -- this usually is NOT an option for older desktop/notebook systems. If this is not possible, then you'll have to develop a different plan.
You prob dont want to use windows.. Windows even running from a network will use lots of memory.. You are right ubuntu is a great way to make an old pc work great again.. Check out http://www.xubuntu.org/ that is the lightwieght verison of ubunutu and is easy to use..

I'm having trouble getting my Verizon MyFi card to configure on my Dell PC w/ XP or my Dell laptop with Vista. The files load--but it doesn't find it when you look for a connection. I've spent 1-1/2 hours with Verizon's tech support and the ppl at Verizon took my laptop to work with it today for several hours but couldn't find a solution. It must be a setting in my computer. They lowered the firewall on the compuer to load the drivers but that didn't work. They checked the administrator settings. They checked to see that the MyFi was being "seen" by the computer and even were able to install it on another computer so the card is good.
