[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1235013, member: 24098"] Even newer versions of Linux are going to be a problem on a machine that old. What you have is what is commonly referred to as a doorstop. Yes, while running software from a bygone era will certainly be OK (and may even seem fast), when we start talking about modern software, it gets complicated. What you have in front of you is a computer with the processing power that is roughly 1/10 the speed of a modern smartphone. Upgrading it to run newer software, or even investing the time is about as futile as fixing a dent in the bumper of a 20 year old car. [/QUOTE]
