@artem no linux distro wants to start on it, even the low-power ones. Waited 1.5 hours for puppy linux to boot, nothing, antix, haiku, minix, debian, all just get stuck at a black screen.

Also, the only networking option this laptop has is a 56k modem, what security are you even talking about?? I have no intention of ever connecting it to the internet (I don't even have a phone line)
