# now my old "dell gx260" is all most finished?
# or not?
it still one of my more solid pc's, but i don't think tethering androids usb wifi will NOT work on older linux kernals.

"debian lenny" served me well wile it lasted. Dell gx260 has a flaking intell onboard video card that does not work well with newer versions of of X-server and newer linux kernels.
so now my old dell gx260 is closed to being mothballed and put away do to obsoleteness.
I like google androids wifi usb tethering. My old HP_pc has (lmde)/linux mint debian edition, sp4, as of 7moy2012. The usb wifi tethering works good out of the box, no fussing or messing around with any of the config files, just works.

7moy2012, #lmde just might become my new desktop of chose, but on my laptop i realy like lubuntu. I guese i like my ".deb' based distros.

I can't get newer ubuntu/s to run on older system with 512mb and less ram. the ubuntu installers ether fails locks up or botches the install job. But Debian installer seem to work just find on old computers with less then 512mb of ram.

I like old cheap/computer especial the free ones.
