I think that pretty much says it all.

Yeah i saw that last nite, would the screen work in a sidepanel? How would i connect it? im thinking to a spare graphics card?

The laptop may be more useful as just a screen.

Thanks

The dude from the register got farther than I did. I could not get past the text based install program on about three different distros. That's when I gave it up. If I was younger and had more time on my hands, I might not have given up. I guess age brings the wisdom to see that the reward of making a light duty Linux OS work on that underpowered hardware was not worth the hard work to make it run.
