Title: Hello from CA USA
Post by: linuxdawg on August 06, 2020, 08:11:38 AM
Breathing new life into my old Thinkpad X60s w/just 4 GB RAM and 80 GB hard drive. Was running Linux Mint 19.2 on it, which works just fine, but I wanted a slimmer distro. I'm very pleased with Sparky, and will post another message about my initial findings. I've played around with many different distros, and I love Puppy for older systems, but it doesn't do dual displays. Sparky does, to my delight.

Morning from a rainy Bolton uk, I was the same been running an older version of Linux Lite on my old Samsung N130 minibook and it was beginning to tire out. After using Ubuntu based distros for a few years I decided to take the plunge and go proper Debian.

Hello Sparky Linux, it has breathed new life into my laptop and will upgrade my other computers to Sparky too. Love the speed and stable nature of Sparky. Have a good weekend.
