| 223107 | 2004-03-17 06:03:00 | Hey. I have a really old computer that i want to use as a network bridge (wifi from mate's house to mine, make it act like a Wireless access point). It can't support more than 64MB of ram per slot, and I have 32MB per slot (there are 3 slots). So it has 96MB of RAM, and my hopes of loading windows server on it are dashed. Now i wanna load windows 95b. I have everything BUT the startup disks, and i was wondering if anyone had the contents needed for download... Anyone? I need one with mscdex.exe as well to run the CDROM, and some random cdrom driver aswell (atapi.sys'll do). But, other than this, do you guys think linux will do well on it? It is: HP Vectra (hand me down from father's office). Pentium 233Mhz (I swapped the original 200Mhz chip with another computer) 96MB Ram Floppy CDRM 4GB HDD Oh and on this topic, anyone know anywhere to get old-school hard drives cheap? Like ~4GB area. 15GB would be nice too :P |

| 223110 | 2004-03-17 10:20:00 | Linux should run without a problem on it. I'd recommend Vector if you wanna use it as a Desktop, but it probably wont have very good support for Wireless, so Im not too sure which Distro/program would suit. So you're wanting to run Win95 on it, but are inquisitive about Linux, correct? |
