[ltp] Is Kubuntu Dapper Drake the end of the line for 600x?

[Harry Popov]

Hallo,

I still use T600X PIII 500Mhz 256Mb RAM which is my only computer. The
last Mandriva works fine. As I bought new HDD I installed Debian Testing
just for curiosity. Debian works fine too. Later I made distro upgrade
to Debian Unstable. No problems at all here too. All experiments were
done after fresh install on the HDD. I always use kernel parameter
pci=noacpi .

Hope this helps. Best regards,

Harry Popov
