[Wolves] What to Install advice

[Craig Squire]

Hi.

I'm no expert but I would recommend CrunchBang.

Older hardware, wireless out of the box, debian base.

The only thing is openbox can be a slight shock if you're used to normal
desktop environments. But it helps to make #! Fast.

Try the live cd.
