Simple concept:<br>I have been running ramdisk Linux distros whan at home to compatibility check them.<br>And waiting to make a selection based on which distro will best handle solving the below scenario.<br><br><br><br>Is it practical to use a slow wireless notebook thru remote sessions at reasonable speed?
<br>The &quot;Host&quot; and notebook for those remote sessions is defined below as &quot;Pertinent Details&quot;<br>Above all else- Web browsing that&#39;s not painful. Primary Need there.<br>Dead last but would be nice:
<br>Remote word processing NOT Google docs but local with forms printing.<br>As in to access/update a campground reservation program and docs for the same property.<br><br>Pertinent details:<br><br>I am now the owner of a CF-25 Toughbook armored notebook.
<br>P166,32 mb ram, 2gig hd. Not a screamer. <br>But folks have had X and wireless working on these.<br><br>80% of my &quot;at home&quot; weekend is spent within local wifi of my home.<br>Home link to &quot;outside world&quot; is DSL at 
1.34down/793 up.<br>That 793 being averaged but for the phase 2 of this concept posibily an issue.<br><br>Home hardware is: a dual core 2.88ghz class machine that I can get 2gig of ram in.<br>200gig ATA drive currently XP only but getting a Linux distro pending this current issue&#39;s results.
<br>I have an 80 gig SATA drive to dedicate to this project if booting from a dedicated drive makes this easier.<br><br><br><br>Oren Beck <br><br>816.632.3695<br><a href="http://www.campdownunder.com">www.campdownunder.com
