Debian and its clones My basement is like a mortuary with the remains of computers all lying in state, waiting and hoping for a new lease on life. But what is there to do with the K6s, the Celerons, and Pentiums of the past. It seems nothing short of a miracle would bring these ghosts back to life.

Exactly what old hardware is useable with Linux. I kept my older Pentium going like that. Informing people to just junk the hardware is stupid and creates a society who cares not a toss about what happens to the so-called "junk" that it dumps every year.

Mind you on another subject old cars that have exceeded 100,000 kilometres, find their knackered way to East Europe where they continue to provide transport........

So why must we always junk everything??????????????

Of course if we junk everything we are encouraged to go buy new.......

It's the same with the sick Megapixel camera race. What does one do with the 3.75MP camera when a 4MP comes out? Dump it?

Give me an older machine any day and let the "born every minute" brigade continually change.
