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.

Agreed, if a computer is used primarily as a router or firewall without much other work done on it, that is silly because of the much greater noise and electricity expenses -- unless, of course, one doesn't have the money for the specialized device.

Yes, XP runs just fine with 64 MB RAM, and Microsoft Office XP on it is fairly usable.
