Hmmm
it wouldn't hurt if you build and release the R14 as an Alpha or Beta
That way you get feedback

Hello Lisi,

I would have my reservations about Alexandre's CD running on your I would also be inclined to give it a go. It is a
Live CD. What have
you to
lose? But I would also try Exegnu Linux, and
installing from, say, a
Debian
netinstall CD, and the repos. You don't say
how much memory the laptops
have. Live CDs need quite a lot of memory to run in the first place,
which
the installed OS may not.

Hi Lisi,
I'm delighted to see that you did try my LiveCD. Thank you very much!
It is still based on 3.5.13.2, instead of R14 as you wrote, but it is
not a problem at all.
I'd say that if your laptop has at least 512mb of RAM, you will be
okay on PCLinuxOS. It should work from as low as 256mb, but choose to
go right to the installer on the GRUB boot menu, so that it will work.
Hardware support and detection works most of the time flawlessly.
PCLinuxOS is the linux that ''just works'', so it is always my best
choice.
I will decide in the following weeks if I will still base my remaster
on TDE 3.5.13.2 another time or if I'll upgrade it to R14.0.0. But
3.5.13.2 reliability is so good!
Thank you very much!
