because i'm insane

nah i pretty much  know alot of people in decent places like big companies who upgrade their comps and dump the old ones at really low cost to me so its hard to pass them up..

 

the macs all came from a local college that upgraded to newer macs so they were giving the old ones away at like 10 percent of what they were worth

My other displays run the background grey to dark-grey gradient, so nothing interesting on them.

 

What O\S are you tunning? I would assume one of Apple's!

 

Vista Sucks, why am I the only one running XP?

Im running XP Pro. I hate vista, and the home edition doesnt allow RDC to come into your computer, so I got pro. :D

I hated Vista when I first got it.  2GB more RAM and SP1 later, and I'm fairly indifferent about Vista.  There are actually somethings that are better on Vista.

 

+1 for Vista. I think it's a great OS. Much prefer it over XP. Only downside I found was some games didn't run. Turns out it was my drivers fault though, got this 3rd party patch and bobs your uncle.

 

Again... VISTA FTW! :P

So I am thinking about turning my old windows 98 machine into a linux server on my windows network. The only problem is, the hard drive(s) equal up to only 2gb. So I might go out and buy a 120gb for the server, and do like thorpe suggested, and download debian, and no desktop. Then config it! Sound good?

You may ask, "only 120gb, you will need a lot more", well no, I will use the server only for hosting a small website, my music, oh and some other files.

Well, I have multiple computers at the house, and the original plan was to have a server to host all the music\files, so all the

windows machines, would have music. So, I was going out to buy a 120gb harddrive for the old box, but my Jeep broke down on the

way to school. So I might to put it off, unless I can get a ride. Then I might use another old box, someone gave me, to host

the website. Oh ya, the other box (the one to host the website), only has a 5gb hard drive. So I could use the 120gb, maily for file sharing, and the other box to host the website, since the website does not take up much space.

 

I have also done some researching, and debian has a great installer, it has tons of options, and it takes up very little hard drive space.
