Found an old IBM Thinkpad G41 Pentium. Got the bag PS cables all for 10 bucks at a thrift store. Had Ubuntu locked out, and Vista dual boot. The HD seemed to be going bad. Have 4 IDE 2.5 HD's but all too thick. Grabbed an IDE M key adapter and M Key SSD off Amazon. Ubuntu did not like the SSD, Peppermint would not allow me to switch the duel keys (CapLock mode) off. OpenSuse, Debian. Raspian for Desktop/laptop installed fine but no mouse. Old Mandrake, nope. All 32 bit distros not one liked the setup, could not set up to boot, or did not like the SSD.

AntiX, however is running installed and working fine. I like getting potatoes to work. Getting harder to find older 32 bit Distros, luckily I have old CD's with copies on them. Never did try AntiX, but think I like it.
