Ugh, that looks to a minimum Pentium III, maybe 256MB of RAM. BTW, the reason I brought up the min requirements, and older PCs, is that I've been involved, together with the Foundation for Media Alternatives (http://www.fma.ph) and some PLUG members, in efforts to get NGOs to use Linux. NGOs usually don't have much money and are likely to have old, donated equipment -- which means sub-Pentium III, maybe even Pentium classics. In fact, I seem to remember one NGO mentioning that they still had 486-based PCs. Obviously though, no modern GNU/Linux distro will run on that, except perhaps in text mode. Or, there's also the ltsp alternative. Anyway...

It crawls like mollases on a cold day. It took almost 5 minutes to boot.
