Comments

Although it is quite old laptop, it is fine for web browsing if you arm it with maximum 512MB or RAM and install Ubuntu or Lubuntu on it.

To enable suspend, hibernation and system shut-down you will have to force ACPI by parsing "acpi=force" to the kernel. To do that edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux and:

1. at the beginning of the script declare new veriable (in example below it is called EXTRAPARM).

export EXTRAPARM="acpi=force"

• B. at the bottom of the script near line 155 insert new variable to look like:

"${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX} ${GRUB_CMDLINE_EXTRA} ${EXTRAPARM} ${GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT}" \

• C. run grub-update script

grub-update
