I've put versions of Slackware on old laptops 3 times. Pick a version of Slackware a year or two older than the laptop, so that all the devices are well supported, and the software hasn't bloated beyond what the older hardware can support. Do security upgrades (OpenSSH, OpenSSL) as required.
- artursapek 15y agoI'll check that out, thank you
- pasbesoin 15y agoI think you meant to say 'a release that's a year or two younger'. Meaning, the maintainers will have had time to discover and roll in any needed support.
- bediger 15y agoThank you, yes, that's what I meant. Good mind reading.
