Antique Linux on an Antique PC

,----[ Quote ]
| Lying about somewhere in my loft, I uncovered a Targa TS30AS laptop, from 
| sometime in the early to mid 1990s. I’d thrown out the battery ages ago, and 
| the machine is almost as old as me, so I had a certain nostalgia using the 
| DOS/Windows 95 system that was installed on it.   
| 
| Nevertheless, I wanted to see if it could be pushed a little further. The 
| specs of this machine are laughable by today’s standards: 8miB of RAM, a ~75 
| or 100mHz CPU (a 486DX2) and a 500miB hard drive. This beast is ancient, 
| without doubt.
