S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1 in VirtualBox

Hi

Did You manage to make the network connection function?

I got as far as You did.. 800x600 resolution at best but I could not make the network card to be recognized
Tried to autoload kernel modules/etc .. it shows up as dummy0 interface on ifconfig

Also getting the Virtualbox guestadditions > in the hopes to get the network card working > to install seems unlikely on my end... it complains for missing bzip2 and I can not seem to locate one version which would work

( tried bzip2-1.0.2-2.i386.rpm with which I got as far as getting a bunch of dependency errors .. while others threw errors of only packages with major numbers <= 3 are supported by this version of RPM )

	Reviving a teenage Mac with Debian I used to run Debian on a G4 iBook, and it ran nicely with a full XFCE desktop. It's a bit lighter and snappier than other distros, but I haven't tried Jessie on the ibook since it bit the dust not too long ago. Hope your experiences continue to be as good as mine were on this hardware.

	Reviving a teenage Mac with Debian Unity is slick and easy to use if you manually restore your privacy, just it takes a fairly powerful machine to run decently. Even 12.04, a few years of bloat ago, runs moderately sluggishly on my 2005 Dell.

Reviving a teenage Mac with Debian

That's been my experience, too. I had to try to revive an old (2003) machine recently when Ubuntu dropped support for my graphics hardware. So I tried installing Debian as a shot in the dark, so to speak. I use the gnome classic desktop. Now the machine is mostly running OK and serves as a back up to my main linux box. I do have to admit that after running Debian a while, I am beginning to wonder what Ubuntu really brings to the table, since I don't use Unity.

	Reviving a teenage Mac with Debian Debian's not my main distro, but it does great filling in the cracks where openSUSE and Mint don't go.

	Christmas Computer I was doing a lot of virtualization... it didn't virtualize modern distros too well. However, it is pretty good at normal computing. I still keep it as a backup and for its parallel port

	Christmas Computer Your old machine's spec doesn't sound too bad to me! I'm sure with something like antiX installed on it, it'd be blazingly fast!

Chain of Fools Coming Soon

Forgot to say... I will post screenshots and reports. I am considering doing this with Fedora also.
