[ltp] Alternative Operating System ?

[Anthony de la Rosa]

I've tried both BeOS and Caldera.  Caldera 2.3 work great on my thinkpad
600.  It had no problems with cardbus and my 3com 3cc575  10/100 ethernet pc
card.  Even the Neomagic driver works great.

BeOS 4.5 also has support now for Neomagic and so I am now able to get 1024
x 768 display but there is still no support for cardbus or my ethernet card
