Is anyone running TDE on a really old computer? (Where old is as defined above.)
Lisi
Is it possible at all? They usually don't have more than 64-96MB of RAM, Debian won't run easily on it. MCbx

I tried it running on raspberry 2 with 256MB of ram and it did not work.
Thanks, Deloptes. Not even Slávek's special cut-down Pi version?

I ran KDE 3.5 on systems with 128MB RAM without problems. Maybe you need to allocate some swap, but this should at least work.
I used KDE 1.x on a Cyrix 150+ which worked pretty fast. On a AMD K6-2 333MHz I remember that KDE 2 and 3 felt sluggish compared to 1, but I do think I managed with them for a while on that system as well. I don't think Trinity would really work on those systems. What I remember KDE 1.x was more complete than many of the current light weight DEs.

I just checked the raspberry yesterday - it has 512MB RAM. It has also swap. Indeed it ran but it was so slowly that I render it unusable.

The difference there might be ARM vs. x86, though. I've run one of the EXE Gnu/Linux Live CDs with TDE on an early Pentium III (550 MHz) with about the same amount of RAM, and it was usable, although programs were a bit slow to start. That might just be the CD drive, though.
I haven't tried it on my 486 yet (and I'd have to do something about the busted serial port first, even if there's a compatible LiveCD). Maybe I should, just to see how bad it would really be. ;)

I tested Trinity on SGI Indy and it was very difficult to use ;)
Note: Indy is this beauty - http://www.sgistuff.net/hardware/systems/indy.html If I remember correctly, my test machine had R4600PC/100 MHz and I have put together 64 MiB RAM.

I'm not, but as a primarily openSUSE user of other distros primarily for various types of cross pollination and bug testing, getting TDE has always been problematic. All the links on https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases.php omit openSUSE, while openSUSE still offers KDE3. It's easier just to skip it rather than to try to figure out where the download instructions that do exist are hidden when the time comes to do a fresh installation and choose its primary DE.
I do have multiple functioning Athlon systems with as much as 1GB RAM, and could try adding or switching to TDE on one or more of their already installed distros, if sufficiently motivated by reasonably accurate download instructions.
But, there are problems with existing instructions, e.g.: https://www.trinitydesktop.org/releases/3.5.13.1/ points to "Official Installation Instructions for RedHat" under the heading "Trinity v3.5.13.1 Release Information" but it points to https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/RedHatInstall which is only about 14.0.x.
It's mostly good that only the current release is pointed to, but there are reasons to have a bit more flexibility, and probably to remove obsolete links and directions (but, like with most wikis, that breaks the PURL[1] concept "Cool URIs don't change"[2]). As it's a wiki, I could help fix it up, but there's an obstacle: links to pages for setting up sources need to be accurate, and thus verifiable, both as to their presence, and their *absence*. The way the mirror system is set up now, redirects make that impossible in any fashion I'm familiar with.
