Gentoo Linux 2005.0

Got this Laptop free. It had WIN98SE originally and I installed Gentoo Linux 2005.0 with Genkernel stage3 install. The system works great in the shell. My wired NIC card works great. Wireless was a bit tricky though since I am aware of the widely unsupported amount of wireless cards and how hard it is to find one that works. I currently have a DWL-G650 installed and running great. It has a Atheros chipset along with the madwifi drivers installed through portage. The only downfall for me is that using a WM is limited at the moment. I havent really configured it yet. Still trying to find some Trident Drivers. The default amount of RAM which is 64mb's is insufficient for the GUI as of now. Using IceWM for now. The resolution on the computer in icewm is huge...
