Jody Thornton Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Also, I think I might attempt (now I know this might be a dirty work in a Microsoft-based froum but here goes)eComstation ... lolSeriously though, it apparently supports a Dell D610 (even the wifi - at least that's what I gather) and there's an updated Firefox for it (I wish Seamonkey were a possibility). Nonetheless, I loved OS/2 so I'm hopeful it it will work in my tests. Edited March 25, 2014 by JodyThornton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there would either need to be a native OS/2 build of Seamonkey, or else Odin (think of Odin as Wine for OS/2) needs to work well enough to allow running the Win32 version.

Jody Thornton Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I appreciate everyone's help. Yesterday, I finally turfed the XP installation on my notebook PC and installed Precise Puppy Linux v5.7.1. Everything is working like a charm, fully installed.
