S Samm In Runtime Messages 441 Apr 11, 2005 #2 Dual 486? In that case, maybe use it as either 1. firewall 2. linux router 3. doorstop
OP OP T The51 In Runtime Messages 238 Apr 11, 2005 #3 hahahahahaha! It's has to have some kind of use, I think?
S Samm In Runtime Messages 441 Apr 11, 2005 #4 I was serious when I said linux router or firewall. (I wasn't exactly joking about doorstop either but I appreciate thats not the sort of suggestion you were looking for)

OP OP T The51 In Runtime Messages 238 Apr 11, 2005 #5 well, I think the only OS it could run is NT 4.0 or maybe windows 98, I wasn't aware it could run Linux? maybe rehat 1 or something, lol.

OP OP T The51 In Runtime Messages 238 Apr 12, 2005 #7 What version would you guys recommend? and are there any versions that will fit on a bunch of floppies and still have a GUI?
