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.

hardly "old" imo

A 400MHz Celeron is hardly "old" and very usable in a Linux system. I have a P2-Dually 450MHz cranking Folding@Home 24/7 using Knoppix and a persistent /home on a small 2gig hdd. BUT it has 256MB of Memory and a cheap Nvidia FX5200 video card in it. RAM and enough room on the HDD for a /swap is the key.
