nakakita ko ug portege 2000 na laptop sa cabinet sa ako father. wala optical and floppy drive. it has windows 2000 installed but lot of errors na. plano nko format nko nya linux lng ako butang para maka try ko ug linux. if butangan nko ni ug windows xp mura yaya jud ni kau. unsa kaha best na linux ani kana lng dili latest para paspas pud sya gamay. probably kanang magamit ang wifi kay naa man ni wifi. unya unsaon pag install ang OS ani na wala mani ni optical ug floppy drive? Ever since windows ra man ud ako nagamit. no idea jud ko basta ubang OS na hisgotan. or what alternative OS na best ani? thanks for the help mga masters...

here is the specs:
P3 750MHz
512Mb Ram
20 Gb HDD (its the 1.8" not the 2.5")
with WIFI

if ever, asa ko kita ug 1.8" HDD adapter?

Copy root files to usb flash drive, boot from usb.

The best para niana is Linux Puppy.

before anything else.. you can always check if mo okay lang ba ang performance.. the only thing you will do is download puppy, slax,ubuntu,xbuntu,etc.. then choose the best.. mas maayo man sad gud na maka experience ka sa lain distro na gusto nimo..

Naa pod ko'y desktop pc nga pupareha ana ug specs. Nasulayan na nako ang Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Elive, TinyMe. Hinay jud siya. Usable pero boring. I also tried Puppy, Zenwalk and TinyCore. Enjoyable na iya performance. Ang problema sa TinyCore kay barebone ra pod kaayo. Daghan pa kang ipang install, itweak. I settled for Linux Puppy. Hangtod karon, nakaPuppy gihapon and Desktop. After a year and a half wa pa jud madaot ang OS. Still running as well as it did since day 1.
