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 have a p75/64mb machine with a 3gb hdd and a 500mb hdd running windows xp smoothly ;) with a bit of registery tweaking, disabling almost every service and tweaking some other stuff plus having the swap on the second hdd its actually running quite well. I did this to see what I could get running the best on this machine. Beos runs quite well, win98 is "ok", 95 runs great, os/2 runs great.. I havent tested out any linux distros yet. I'm going to install dsl and puppy and see how well they run.

anyways, I can't believe xp is running usably fast on this machine.
