Hi everyone :-) been busy with family get togethers
:-) a cast off arrived (what I thought was just a computer case) It was actually a base unit with no hard drive no mouse or keyboard and no monitor it did have graphics, CD writer, floppy and DVD well I was given a nice new hard drive for Christmas and a keyboard (that lights up) - found an old MS wheel mouse my old 17" RGB monitor is working fine So now I have 1200 mhz Duron 256 meg ram, with a CD writer, DVD and built in net and graphics, sound etc (I had the whole thing running Knoppix Linux in 10 minutes) - this is peoples cast off? The boot up from bios is VERY fast Now I have to think . . . A server? A linux machine? A dual/multiple booter? Thinking aloud here . . . You know what I am gonna do? (for my first project) Run Solaris from Sun - that needs 512 meg of ram which I can (maybe mix and match) cobble together BUT what do I need Solaris for . . . m m m I think I will start with some party titioning of the hard drive . . . No Solaris just sounds impressive - what do I need it for? If it aint broke - don't fix it - don't need it - don't get it (laws of geek) Win 98SE - now that I can use - Linux is interesting but apart from browsing - now that sounds good a dual Win98SE and Linux boot machine I was told it will NOT run XP - if I have 98SE on there can check compatibility problems . . .
