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.

I have an old PII clone (it's a Cyrix chip) and I was told that you can no longer buy RAM for it. I'm stuck at 98mb RAM. Enough to tease me with the potential of GUI Linux, but not enough to match the ease with which I used to zip around in Win98 (why the hell does X Windows require more ram to operate smoothly than Win98?! My one big quibble with Linux. Very frustrating). Where can one buy old ram?
BTW, I have found Feather, with its use of lighter faster XVesa (instead of XF86) + Fluxbox to be the least resource hungry of distros. Featherweight Linux, a derivative of Feather might be worth a shot as well.
