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.

Most people need a reality check and realize the newest 1337 computers do not magically allow people to do more, as much as marketers want to make them believe so. If one is not into the latest games or does not require the performance for computationally intensive tasks, 10 year old computers can be adequate desktop computers. For video watching, 450-500 Mhz P II computers will do DivX movies just nicely.

I second VectorLinux. Will have to try Feather and see.
