Hi Alex,I am just about to send 7 recycled laptops to the Cameroon, admittedly they are 600Mhz, but they only have 128Mb ram and about the same HDD capacity. The best mix of response / functionality that I could get from them was from the puppy linux distro.
Abiword and Gnumeric are the norm for wp / spreadsheet but they are serviceable. Network is usable if a little tricky to set up initially. l
Overall I would recommend it for something of that specification.If you can make it to the meeting @ Paignton on Saturday I would be happy to install it for you.
