Old PCs reborn, with Linux.
Resurecting an old PC

| An install of something lighter and more secure is needed to put the machine
| back in service. The machine is a Dell Dimension L667R. It is only a 666 MHz
| machine with 128 MB, so even running a Linux distribution like a standard
| version of Ubuntu is going to be a stretch. I am settling on Xubuntu which
| sports the Xfce desktop. Since I am pushing memory requirements, I will give
| the alternate CD a try. If it works, I may even lay a little down to upgrade
| the memory, yay!

Windows was a pig hungry enough to spur purchases of PCs that will run Linux
for many years to come (maybe even KDE 4.0).

| Interestingly enough, there is another operating system that most people are
| not familiar with called Linux. Linux (and its earlier version UNIX) have
| been around for a long time helping us place phones calls and providing
| access to the Internet. Linux, up until this point, has been mostly behind
| the scenes just doing its job and doing it well. You can get started with
| Linux at www.linux.org.
