Hi everyone, I have a question to ask.
I have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 with 512MB of RAM, I wanted to know if this operating system could be installed on this PC without problems.

And if the operating system recognizes all the peripherals that make up the laptop and if it recognizes or is there a way to install the Belkin Wifi card (Wireless G Netbook Card) Model: f5d7010.

Or if you know a lightweight Linux system where you can use with this very old PC.
A thousand thanks!

NarakuITA,

The best way to find out if KolibriOS runs on the laptop is to boot its live floppy/cd/usb image. I think it should run but you will hardly get a system to surf the web comfortably. Our browsers are quite limited and we don't have any wireless drivers so far. Also, I am sorry to say that 512MB is a too hard limitation for any modern browser in any modern OS. The only thing you can get from your laptop is fun if you feel into. KolibriOS or Linux will not make it usable for real-world tasks.
