Recycling Vintage Alphas with Debian

Posted by timothy on from the be-your-own-curator dept.

As many goverments now want to prevent computers from ending up in landfill one solution is for us geeks to recycle. How? Installing Debian of course. Debian Planet has a great article on installing Debian on vintage Alphas."

    It's the perfect setup. People using other browsers don't get hit, but the IE users, well, may TBL have mercy on their souls.
