Hi: I have access to a lot of throw away pc's as I pay a trash collector to drop them off once a month. Any xp on a pc that originally had win98, I intend to install puppy linux on and then offer them back to the public for a modest price of about 20 dollars each. I have much to learn, and the first task is to try to get seamonkey to read windows live mail. Thus far today there is a parsing error and I am about to get into that. Would it be better to try to install the very latest wary puppy linux, or to try to upgrade the seamonkey onto the 3.o puppy. Also I am using a version of puppy that was labled puppy-celeron, believing that the celeron processor in this old gateway essential 500 might match up with the driver selections on that particular disk.

Hi and welcome to LQ.

You should always use the latest versions, since older versions are not supported anymaore and won't get any bugfixes and security updates. About the Celeron thing, Celerons were first built in 1998 and are still on the market with the same name, so a Celeron can be anything from the 1998 single-core CPU with 266 MHz up to the modern day dual-core Celerons with several GHz, so I wouldn't really go for that.
