This was really only a test to see if the PC actually worked :-)  It
hasn't been used for years so I stripped and cleaned it all the other
week while I was watching the cricket.  The Ubuntu live CD was the
first one I came across.  I could have used ELE which is much, much
smaller than Ubuntu.  I think I might give Gentoo a try on it.  That
way I make the most of the relatively poor performance I would
otherwise get :-)  Plus, I've been wanting to try sorting Gentoo for
some time and this is the only PC I can leave running all night while
everything compiles.
