Is SUSE the best distro for low requirement scenarios?

Does your laptop have USB ports or the more common PCMCIA slot? You
could buy a cheap PCMCIA memory S-RAM card or make a swap drive using
a PCMCIA compact-flash adaptor.

Have I missed something or are you on some sort of Buddhist punishment
lesson, where's your hard disk?

:-D :-D :-D

Does USB need to be software initialised?

I'm thinking a cheap 64Mb USB pen would make a simple plug-in swap
drive.

Maybe I'm missing the point. Over to the Linux experts.

:-D

Wow, Damn Small Linux looks cool.

It's totally possible to burn AmigaOS to a card like that on an A1200
with MakeCD and run it on a standard CD32!

I couldn't view the screenshot well at 1600x1200 but I could just
about make out something that looked like DOpus on the desktop!

How do you get Linux onto Amiga then, what version suits it best?

:-)
