That should run blazingly fast on my 100 Mhz pc. It currently just displays "operating system not found" upon boot up.

whoever said you need alot of computing power for a server is wrong
sorry that was me, let the beatings begin
Shouldn't someone host a mirror in case we slashdot IBM? =)

Can you imagine a beowulf cluster of those?

I already run a very svelt Linux. it's called SuSE.
Imagine a one-node-cluster of my unshaven face screaming with unbrushed-teeth beer-breathed fury at the latest in a way-too-long string of unfunny references to a dead white guy from Scandinavia! ...
Duh, I flunked lit, so where was the original reference to the classical sense of Beowulf?
Please, please, please, no more clusters or I'll have you all cloistered! and neutered!
"apt-get remove -purge *", right?
Wah!

Or install linux on an AMD Hammer.
Same computing power.
* 386 processor - check! (1.4ghz)
* 16MB RAM - check (512mb)
* 50 megabytes of hard disk space - check (40gb)
* 3.5" floppy drive - doh!
oh well, cant win 'em all.
must resist urge to post snide comment ...
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Shouldn't you be popping something else into her box instead? Something a little bit more, ah, interactive?
Yeesh.

Dude, that's just wrong.

You'd keep the mail on the 5-1/4" B: drive of course! We *are* talking about old computers here, right?

where do you live again?
But my cunning plan was to have a talking clippy-type character pop up on the screen and annoy any burglars away. ("You seem to be trying to break into the apartment...") I'll just have to make do with a wonderfully robotic text-to-speech card. I might still keep Windows on that machine, FreeBSD on others.
The networking part is so that when he switches that machine off, he gets a surprise. ("No Jacque, not this dam...")
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
You can drool all you want over these things, but I'm waiting for a version of Linux that doesn't even need a CPU, let alone a computer.
Any votes as to when these "The terrorists have won when" jokes die out?
And please, don't say, "The terrorist have won when these jokes die"
Future installments in the "breaking the cycle" series include:
Maintaining your 1932 Pierce Arrow
Connecting cable to your Philco Predicta
Making ice last through the summer
Rolling your own condoms
"He" is a funny looking kinda guy.
Hey, it wouldn't do much, but it's linux, it boots from a 386 without hard disk, and most of all it doesn't require a keyboard. Obviously, if you want a decent performance you need a P4 2.8 GHz.
Signatures are for stupids.
A featherweight OS for my paperweight PC!
