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.

In our church we are using several old PCs (ranging from 75 Mhz to 200-300 Mhz) as diskless terminals, which boot from their PXE network cards. They run quite well. You need only one server, which a little bit stronger. Our P-III 800 Mhz server with 256 Mb of RAM can serve three diskless desktops and itself very well.
Tasks include OpenOffice, KDE/GNOME games and other terminal window stuff.
