DELL P2-300M box ready for surgery
Yes…you read it… the DELL Optiplex is about to be disected from me.
It has a good P2-300Mhz CPU with 192M ram, 6Gig hard disk.
Not bad for something that is what..5-6 yrs old?
What I want to do with it? I’m Burn testing it rite now, with KNOPPIX Linux LiveCD… and as we speak, I’m downloading the whole 14 CD of DEBIAN LINUX DISTRO, Each over 640MB! Gosh…Thank god for AOL Unlimited Broadband. And even on a 8MB line…I can only get 200-300kbps on the FTP channels tops..
The other Dell (Small One)… is a P3-800 I think…have yet to see and run thru. The CPU Chip itself looks ok..not burnt..but with 128M Ram….not enuff…I’ll get more later on….
now plan is…optimise the RAM and stuff ..and load Linux..and the 800..dual boot ..let Athira play with it.
