Re: (OT) Re: Dimension 8100 issues

The monitor is worth $20 to $25 retail if it has no evidence of screen burn.
The system is probably worth the same, but it would need a memory upgrade to be
fairly usable with Windows 98 or Windows 2000. The CPU is either a Pentium II
or Pentium III running at 450MHz.

If the system has an operating system sticker and licensed software with it
(e.g. a licensed copy of Office), then there are no issues with rebuilding the
OS later on.

This box would run most any current Linux distro very nicely, something like
Ubuntu, the basic Red Hat or basic Suse. Linux is not nearly as bloated as ANY
version of Windows... Ben Myers
