There are plenty of AMD K6-2 boxes going cheap, and I can assure you that Libranet runs quite nicely with a 350 mHz CPU. You can get a functional install on a 2 gb Hd, and these you can pick up for a song at flea markets and "mom and pop" computer shops that usually have a pile of junk parts they are happy to unload. If nothing else, you can slave another drive to your existing HD. Use CLOS to boot it. CLOS does not like playing second fiddle to other OS' bootloaders. With a "lab rat" you can play with a new distro without fear of screwing up your working CLOS distro. Debian will grow on you, but it will take some time to get the hang of it. -- Leon A.
