this was quite an interesting thread... in fact, I'm going to fire up an old dell dimension 3000, that i'm using as a TV stand, that came with windows xp many years ago... and load linux on it, just to play with it... what's cool about this thread is that i started reading it... then i noticed the posts are from 7 years ago... eventually it went to 6 years ago... then to 6 hours ago with a post from manila... kool...
