XTaran: Typos and clarification

Started with old Toshiba laptops, 80486 with [[:Category:Desktop Light Linux|Desktop Light Linux]] and 8086 with [http://elks.sf.net/ Embedded Linux Kernel Subsystem (ELKS)]. They were ugly enough to be loved.

Then I got a 1996 IBM ThinkPad [[:Category:760ED|760ED]] my father found at a customer's electronic scrapyard. I immediately fell in love with the matt-black finish and the haptics of rubber-like surface. Another cool feature which drew my attention were the fixable mouse keys. Never saw this very useful feature again anywhere else, not even on predecessors or successors of the 760.

The 760ED works fine [[MWave_MDSP2780|except sound]], even [[How_to_make_use_of_Power_Management_features|APM]] and [[IrDA]] work. It runs [[:Category:Debian|Debian]] GNU/Linux 3.1 (Sarge) with up-to-date 2.4 and 2.6 vanilla kernels. It still runs for 2.5h on batteries (maybe the previous owner exchanged them) thanks to [[laptop-mode]]. And since I don't (want to) own a modern laptop, it became my default laptop. It's always funny to appear and work with an over 10 years old laptop on conventions or congresses, especially of it runs an up-to-date operating system and up-to-date software. :-)

XTaran: What is Desktop Light (DeLi) Linux?

__NOTOC__
=== What is Desktop Light (DeLi) Linux? ===

Desktop Light (DeLi) Linux is a Linux Distribution for old PCs ranging from 80386 to Pentium I based systems, short said for systems around 10 years old or elder. It ships only software which has low resource fingerprints since most old systems have not that much memory installed.

Laptop-mode-tools

2006-10-02T12:38:45Z

XTaran: /* Packages */ Change link to official Debian Package page, since the give link is only the laptop mode tools home page which is linked several times on this page, added aptitude command line

__TOC__
laptop-mode-tools is the userland component of "laptop mode", the Linux kernel mode that allows you to spin down your hard drives for longer periods of time. This package takes care of configuration and activation of laptop-mode, automatically remounting your filesystems with the appropriate options, and modifying the idle timeouts for your hard drives. Laptop mode tools integrate with power management daemons such as acpid, apmd and pbbuttonsd, so that laptop mode is started automatically when your laptop is running on batteries.

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/tools/

=== Status ===
*stable, active

=== Packages ===
* {{Debian}} packages are available: http://packages.debian.org/laptop-mode-tools . These packages are well-maintained, so you might just want to {{cmdroot|apt-get install laptop-mode-tools}} or {{cmdroot|aptitude install laptop-mode-tools}}
* {{Fedora|Fedora Core}} 4 packages are available in the [http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/ Dries RPM repository].

=== Documentation ===
* The [http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/tools/ Project Home Page] holds installation instructions.
* There is a [http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/tools/faq.html FAQ].
* Read /lib/modules/`uname -r`/source/Documentation/laptop-mode.txt on your system.

XTaran: Links, vanilla

Fan of old Toshiba and IBM laptops. Home page at http://abe.home.pages.de/

Currently own a [[:Category:760ED|760ED]] saved from the electronic scrapyard. Works fine except sound. Runs [[:Category:Debian|Debian]] GNU/Linux 3.1 (Sarge) with uptodate vanilla kernels. Still runs for 2.5h on batteries, so I use it, when I need a laptop. Details at http://fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de/~abe/w5/azka.html#bijou

XTaran: Initial page

Fan of old Toshiba and IBM laptops. Home page at http://abe.home.pages.de/

Currently own a [[:Category:760ED|760ED]] saved from the electronic scrapyard. Seems to have problems with graphical video modes, but works fine in text mode. Run Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody) with Linux Kernel 2.4.26. Still runs for 2.5h on batteries, so I use it, when I need a laptop. Details at http://fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de/~abe/w5/azka.html#bijou
