Re: PING: Ian Smith- UBUNTU

Whilst perusing Usenet on Tue, 30 Oct 2007 18:27:18 -0000, I read
these words from "Glenallan" <robt.black@xxxxxxxxx> :

"Josiah Jenkins" <josiah-jenkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message

How old ??? About 5 years.
It very successfully runs XP Home.
It only has a 400 mHz processor.
It's only 8 G HDD, but I have spare
160 G HDD portable Drive.

Maybe I should leave well alone.?

Mine (built as an NT4 box) later ran both
W2K then XP Pro but it didn't like Linux.
