[NTLUG:Discuss] Older laptop distro and (separately) remote control solution

[Gilbert Morrow]

I use openSUSE on 2 older laptops, in fact 13.2 at present, works fine. Use
to opensuse had a build your own distro site, and has a portal to spinoff
distros from 3rd party builders. I have an old Lenovo Y510 and an Alienware
M9700 that are the aforementioned laptops,as long as opensuse loads I will
continue to use them.
