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 several old computers like this that I need to get rid of. Rather than simply throwing them out to fill up a landfill, I'm going to follow these directions and give them away to whatever worthy causes I can find.

I gathered these systems after updgrades to newer mobos or processors from either my systems or friends and family. They didn't want to keep the old carcass, so I took them in the idea that I might do something with them. I never buy new systems, only incrementally upgrade them to the latest and greatest. My current Win2000 machine is an socket 754 Ahtlon 3000 with 1 Gig of Ram and 120 Gigs of HD space. This was upgraded countless times from a 386/33.
