Thread: all this chatting about linux, what can be done with a 200mhz machine?

i had debian testing on a Pentium 200 MMX with 128mb ram for about 2 years in my old car. it ran just with minimal services installed but with XFree86 and enlightenment (dr16) as a windowmanager. xmms was on top of it fullscreen, as it was only a audio playback machine.

i used ext3 as filesystem and because it's a journalling filesystem, i had no need to shutdown the computer. i just made a hard-reset everytime i turned the engine off. in these 2 years of usage i never broke any file on the entire system because of a bad journal entry or something...

mp3blaster is a nice interactive console mp3 player IMHO.
