I installed Ubuntu 5.04: Hoary Hedgehog Release on an old Dell Inspiron 3000 laptop that was running Win95. Additional info:<br />
<br />
200MHZ Pentium MMX<br />
128MB RAM<br />
<br />
This machine will be used for lightweight web surfing. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
(I've asked a separate question about streamlining the install so that it runs faster.)<br />
<br />
I'm trying to use a Linksys instant wireless network PC card ver3. I am not able to get online.<br />
<br />
Help!<br />
<br />
Thanks.
