Answer» I have an old Optiplex gx150 knocking about after I upgraded to a newer computer.
It has 246mb Ram, p3 (about 800mhz) and is runnung XP PROF. It has NO CD drive, just a floppy drive.
I would like some interesting USES for it, at no extra cost. I thought of a firewall, but I dont have a spare low profile nic card lying about and I dont really need one either, neither do I need a server. I thought about using it to TRYOUT linux but with only a floppy dirve and a 128mb pen drive i have to hand I dont think so.Install a cdrom & linux.
The KDE desktop is nice.Agreed. a CDROM is cheap and is goinng to be required for any meaningful purpose.
Xandros FREE edition would be a good place to star.i would use a spare cdrom that I have but its a micro-desktop and takes the flat pop-out ones like in laptopsYou can get a used CD drive dirt cheap, or get a DVD drive for $20.
