<br>
My father-in-law has an old Linux box that I put together a few years
ago, I think the spec as below<br>
<br>
AMD Duron 750 MHz <br>
Gigabyte Motherboard <br>
256 MB memory<br>
CD-RW drive<br>
<br>
Currently running an old SUSE distro, not sure of version but old
enough that I know is no longer supported.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions as to what I can do with it other than sending it to
its fate at a South Staffs recycling container?<br>
<br>
I could upgrade the motherboard </span><span

style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">, processor and/or graphics card ( I
might have one of these spare I think its Nvidia or ATI not sure). But
I was thinking along the lines of what can I do with it as it stands
without incurring expense. <br>
<br>
I could install, I suppose, a lightweight Linux distro like Puppy Linux
or Mint.<br>

Well, my first thought would be a Smoothie box... :-) Possibly a file
server?<br>
