Windows XP won't even run on that system... and he wants to play w/ linux. Not that you didn't know that already though.

Well, i've used slackware on this (my main, not the 133) box before and i like it, had a bit of trouble with creating the boot floppy for it the other day, so its sat in my other room with RedHat7.0 on (for the sake of it having something installed) at the moment.
But if i get this 2gb HD from Chris, then i'll put Slackware on and Download FreeBSD which has been recommended to my by a friend. and have it setup with Dual Boot |

well...
i had a 133mhz, 2gig HD, 48mb RAM comp too i left it with Windows 95...! i used it as a while as a file server.... for storing me roms... but then i thought it was a waste of electricity and time just to turn it on, JUST to play some of my classic games..... so what i did was, take out the HD, and put it on this comp, and that's extra 2 gig HD space for this comp but u know wat... i think u should try windows 2000.... i tried to install it on my 133mhz comp, but it wouldn't install... cause it had a really horrible life.... it was struck by lightning which fried alota stuff on the motherboard so i had to look to alternatives, like those... ISA com port cards and all... |
