![]() I must admit that I expected problems during installation. I was realy lucky, that I get my hands on wifi PCMCIA card so I didn’t need to use USB wifi card, and both USB(1) ports are free (I’m using one port for 32GB USB key as second disk for music files, because internal HDD is only 20GB) and I’m mobile again. It took me about half an hour to install and configure (backup configuration files were installed with yadm ‘Yet Another Dotfiles Manager’, great backup utility, using git as backup destination) all command line and X apps. The battery is as new, still with design capacity 4000 mAh and last full capacity 3844 mAh = 96% (stated by acpi, with command acpi -i).Īs big ArchLinux fan, there was no doubt what to install. The CD Rom and floppy disk (and yes I still have floppy disks, found 10 pieces in unopened package) both in excellent condition, the Trident graphic card working without a glitch and integrated ethernet card (last series had also integrated wifi card) had no problem with internet connection.

It is in very good condition, well preserved, keyboard as new and only one dead pixel on display. ![]() That was love an first sight and I was determined to make it operational with new Linux. When I mentioned to a friend that I need new laptop, he offered me his old Toshiba Satelite Pro 4600 to ‘recycle’ it. ![]() Toshiba running tmux with oysttyer in open window. I must not forget ‘upgraded’ working enviroment using X server with i3 window manager, qutebrowser as web browser (I really like that browser – keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on PyQt5 and QtWebKit) and mpv for playing video and this is about the whole list of what I have installed on my old laptop (now desktop). So all I need is terminal emulator, in my case tmux, vim, moc and of course some extended functionality with vifm as file manager, mutt as mail client, elinks as web browser, newsbeuter as RSS reader and oysttyer as Twitter client (official fork of well known TTYtter) as base. I don’t need some powerful laptop, because mostly I use it as text editor ( vim) and music player ( moc) while I work and that’s it. I ‘need’ mobility, because I like working outside if the weather allows it. When my old laptop’s display crashed, it became desktop, connected to external display via working VGA output and I suddenly lost mobility. ![]()
