I have an Intel PII 333 with 192 MB that I could fire up but I don't know if the project will support WIN 98SE. It's been off for a while but it used to crunch Rosetta just fine.

We know that our workunits crash on win95 and 98. This machine would be a nice target for a linux setup though :-) OpenSuSE is my favorite distribution and very easy to install. You can download ISO's from www.opensuse.org.

Another easy-to install distro is Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com). Their distro loads from a bootable CD so you can try it out and sees if it will work for you on your hardware; if you like it, there is a install icon on the desktop. I'll second that. I'm a Windows user from way back (OK, late last century), but have recently (this month) switched my main computer to Ubuntu. It's still dual boot but is running Ubuntu Linux almost exclusively now. Biggest problem I had was with wireless nework setup (took hours to find a suitable driver) but other than that it's been quite smooth sailing. It has a BOINC package too. ____________

Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux are probably better candidates for this box, both come as LiveCDs and both will give you a graphic desktop on marginal hardware. |

Thanks for the replies. I'll look into those. It's been a good reliable machine for a long time and I can't bring myself to dump it at the recycle depot.

(K)Ubuntu should run fine on such a setup. the Live CD may not (id try anyway) but the alternate install would. Maybe get your friend to install it for you.

(K)Ubuntu should run fine on such a setup. If you want Ubuntu, but a very small/light/fast install, go with Xubuntu. "Xubuntu is a complete GNU/Linux based operating system with an Ubuntu base. It is lighter on system requirements and tends to be more efficient than Ubuntu with GNOME or KDE, since it uses the Xfce Desktop environment, which makes it ideal for old or low-end machines, thin-client networks, or for those who would like to get more performance out of their hardware." http://www.xubuntu.org/ ____________ Dublin, CA Team SETI.USA |

I received the
first 93.14 credits for my Pentium III
. Great! Thanks a lot, Joseph Mornhineway and Contact. A special thank you to Contact, who got an invalid due to the 5.03 versus 5.04 issue.

You can download ISO's from www.opensuse.org. I've got a PII running Gentoo Linux. Now that I've attached it to Docking@Home, I'll have to see how things go. - John |
