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.

Thanks for the article! I'm in the middle of resurrecting an old PC and was having a lot of trouble with Vector and KDE. A few questions:
- I've got XFCE running, but the login screen is really ugly. Any way to make it nicer?
- There's no way to restart from within the GUI. How can I set that up?
- Considering the last two questions, would it make more sense to start with the "desktop" collection of packages, and then add XFCE (instead of just going with a base install)?
- If my target user doesn't like XFCE, am I correct in thinking KDE will also be quicker than it was under SUSE?
...And one correction: The X windows package is "x-window-system" not "x-windows-system".
Thanks!
