Hi John

I see you are managing to keep your brain active during lockdown.

I understand it made a bit of a difference if you had a high spec USB flash drive - something a bit better than swapping to disk, but I never tried it.

I have an HP Compaq dc7900 Small Form Factor Core2 Duo with with 4GB RAM and 1TB SATA hard drive currently dual-booting Sparky and Mint Debian.�� You could wipe the disk and install any distro(s) you want. Also has a rather worse for wear DVI monitor if you want that.

You are welcome to it if you can work out a way of getting it from me to you.��

Stay well.

Rod

Some years ago, Windows Vista offered users who plugged in a USB flash
drive the option of using the device as extra ram. I never actually
tried this due to large amount of doubt about the functional ability of
the claim. However I now have a number of Linux machines with DDR2 that
I am unable to increase the physical memory of and wonder if this is a
feasible option for these machines.
