[how to] bring your old PC to life


Many of us are old PC users and some of us have old PC's (pentium 2 or maybe even 1) somewhere stored.
This is how to make it Useful again!
-- Install a mini-Linux OS (Damn Small Linux, Puppy Linux or other minimalistic distribution), otherwise (my choice) is to create a "light" XP version. Use nLite and remove anything that doesn't fits in your old PC (Gamepad Drivers, MSN stuff, maybe old printers or Graphic Cards)
--It's DONE! You are ready to go! These machines can be used to download stuff from the Internet while your main PC is safely resting...
My old PC is P2 - 233MHz with 64 MB or RAM and 4 GB Hard disk. It boots Windows faster than my main (newer) PC!
C U!
