Cargo (97.3) is a basic desktop used essentially as a terminal. It has a 500MHz Celeron processor, 64MB memory, 10GB of disk.
The base install (22 March 2004) was with the beta3 Debian Installer, booting from floppy, then using a USB Flash disk. Automatic partition of the disk was accepted (single partition).
With only 64MB of memory the machine ran quite slowly. Another 256MB was purchased (SDRAMM, $120) and the machine was able to cope with multiple XWindows and more.
