Laptop As-Is Build Guide Update

Grabbed a Pentium II thinkpad, installed a 10GB HDD with Debian Squeeze installed with basic packages only, and no desktop environment. Created a user. Installed bsdgames. Sean did something so that the game paths are linked to the user home directory.

Tentative plan: Eliminate scraptops, new As-Is spec would be Pentium ii-iii ish with harddrives and light OS installed. Maybe a basic readme with instructions, but no further support ("My First Linux") Machines in the As-Is category that POST with working screens Install 30GB or less HDD, with headless Squeeze install ("proof of concept OS") Install bsdgames or other silly packages, maybe with basic instructions, could have a display store box

selection process: boxes that are aesthetically appealing in some way (not super chunky, cute, whatever) working screen working keyboard and trackpad

next category up (P4 lowend stuff) would include lightweight desktop environment and wireless

New As-Is Label information

Processor Speed HDD y/n If y, size
