[00:18:29] <wjlafrance> I got a new hard drive (100GB TravelStar!) for my IBM ThinkPad 600 today and got i486 installed. Building WindowMaker right now. Currently has 128MB of RAM but I have 512MB on the way.

[08:31:32] <abaumann> wjlafrance: looking forward to see pictures about that machine in the forum soon :-)
[08:32:06] <abaumann> WindowMaker is an ideal choice (I also compiled it recently on 486, seems to build fine), as it gives the machine _that_ retro look :-)

[19:16:57] <wjlafrance> abaumann: Still struggling to get xorg up and running. wmaker compiled in under an hour, xf86-video-neomagic compiled in a few minutes after hacking it's PKGBUILD up a bit, but I can't get xorg to like the screen, getting the classic `no screens found` / `AddScreen/ScreenInit failed` depending on config. Took a break but gonna keep plucking at it.
[19:17:15] <wjlafrance> I'll be sure to post some photos on the forum at some point :)
[20:53:46] <bill-auger> a commendable effort - you almost passed the arch32 challenge - the distro with hardest-working user-base on earth
