Linux??? What kind of hardware??
Hello,
I think the penquin is cute!! That is All that I know about Linux.
I am curious, however----considering that I have learned how to drag and drop in Windows.
I guess I'll start with this: I have an AcerPower 4000 desktop that I never use. P233mhz MMX @ 282mhz, 2.1 GB HDD with 1.7GB free, 128MB PC100 ram, Windows 98, IE5.5 SP2, DirectX 8.0. Audio-video-nic on board. It has a 56K modem that is operative, if needed. 15" Ochestra monitor 800x600 16bit.
Would this be a good enough computer for Linux?
Well, I have another computer that is a little faster that is sitting on top of the ACER that I don't use either. An AMD-K6 350mhz @ 388mhz, 128 MB ram, 4.3G HDD---3.8GB free, Win98, IE5.5, CDR,
NIC, modem, etc.
I do have an IBM 15GB, 7200 rpm HDD in a drawer with nothing on it....if that will help. Also, 4 other computers going up to AMD 1.4ghz CPU, 384MB PC133. All these have been networked into my home network at one time or another.
I'm just seeking what you guys would recommend starting out. I have all sorts of extra parts...ram, HDD's, etc.
Now I am open to all suggestions and advice.
Thank you,
Spaceman
