Who's running Puppy on the oldest hardware?
Who's running Puppy on the oldest hardware?
I am running tahrpup on a Latitude 131 laptop from 2005. Would not trade it for a new one if it had to run another OS. What antique hardware are you keeping alive running a pup ??
2002 IBM T-40 ThinkPad laptop running Tahr 6.0.5 with ZoneMinder
Runs 24/7 for about 2 years now:

Puppy 412 Retro on a 1999 Compaq Armada 1700, 233 MHz Pentium II, dual-boot with Win95. I use this more than any of my other Puppies!
96 MB RAM, 384 MB swap.

Ive been using old laptops for years. One from '03 died last fall. So cool to know I am not the only one. I think I paid $1000 for this Dell in '05. Still going strong. With Tahrpup, it boots up fast and surfs the net just fine. Finding puppy really helped out. If I did not have this car addiction I would never use Windows.
Using Toshiba Satellite 3000 from 2005 ---1 Gig Ram ..Single Core Processor .

Using different Puppies (Tahr---Xenial---Dpupexprimo--PrecisePup ----also different "Dogs "--- Debian Dog --Xenial Dog--- ).......they do fully satifsy my Needs ....--

This one is fully usable today, thanks to the 1 usb slot. OK, extremely slow, but still...

Be sure to state amount of RAM since that's often the most important factor.

Oldest Puppy Network?
G'day,
How about the oldest average age network of Puppy computers?
Or the youngest user(s) on the oldest computer(s)?
Here's a last year's shot of my "corner of the world".
Four desktops (HP) above the desk, one below (Medion). All running Puppies on the home network.
Users are the then two four-year-olds on the left (the twins are now 5 and in kindergarten, to their mother's delight), and one then-2-year old (now 3) on the right watching Peppa. He's now just getting into games.
So all were younger than any of the computers they were using.
