[ale] Cheap PC in Peachtree City/Fayetteville

[James Taylor]

After doing a quick check at PCUSA, I decided to set him up with one of
my older office PCs (850MHZ Athlon, 30 GBdrive and 256MB DDR RAM
w/200MHZ front side bus).  I can replace the older box so cheaply that
I'll just give it to him for the cost of a MOBO, processor and case, and
put that toward a newer office pc.

Thanks for the info.  I appreciate the input.

The used PIII's are Dell Optiplex (small case). I tried one with SuSE
9.0 and 
Knoppix (Debian Testing/Unstable). Right now it's running the Knoppix
flavor 
of Debian installed to the hard-drive. Works fine for. But it was closer
to 
130 or so(?). Might have been smarter to go the little extra and get a
1200 
duron.
