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.

I use old computers for Linux distro's such as IPCop, smoothewall,Censornet,Clarkconnect. Old computers are great for firewalls, Content filtering, routers, and wireless access points. My newest project will center around K12LTSP a thin client approach using some old P2's with 64 megs of ram and no hard drives. I also have a old AMD K6-2 gateway computer with 128 megs of ram that runs Debian sarge with gdesklets, and a GNOME 2.8 desktop. It's never given me any problem. Nice article BTW
