The laptop I used three or four years ago in England with Mandrake 10.1 on it 
does not have enough disk space to run any of the big, current distros like 
Mandriva or Ubuntu, and while it can run DSL, I couldn't find any of my 
network cards that I could get DSL to support.  

Some people talk about Linux extending the life of old hardware - their old 
hardware must be a lot newer than my old hardware.
