Pentium based, any speed. The systems that my friend Brenda donated all 
were
P133 or slower but the kicker was the hard drives in them were
500 megs or less. That makes it tough to install a lot of the more 
modern distributions. 
I suggested that he cannibalize some of the older systems and put 
several hard drives in each system
I know a lot of folks are starting to toss their older Pentium II 
systems, if we could find a source
for him to get some older Pentium II equipment from to work with this 
would be great.
