Hey all,

I'm looking for distro recomendations for an older laptop.  I've got 2 
old Toughbook cf-25's at home, one a 133 MHz and one a 166 MHz system.  
I'm wanting to make at least one of them into a GPS system for my truck, 
something with more than the standard 2" display on the small GPS 
systems.  I've already got a serial GSP antenna that seems to work fine, 
will have to wait and see though.  So, what I'm looking for is a 
distribution that will run well on that speed of system.  I tried 
Mandrake on them a while back and it just seemed a bit slow on them.  
Also, does anyone know of a mapping program out there that would run 
well on this speed of system?


Thanks,

Jeff
