A plan...

[pfloyd]

So I got this idea today...

I need a new PC toy to play with once and again... plus I want to sharpen my fading Unix skills.

So, I'm thinking on recycling my PIII/800 box and converting it over to Ubuntu. It's free, it's graphical, uses Open Office and Firefox already...
My boss has a laptop that runs Ubuntu, and he says it's terrific.

So, I need to dig up my old KVM switch and cables, and have at it... However, since my Vista PC has wireless keyboard and mouse, and the receiver plugs into a USB port, I may need a new switch...

If you need more parts/hard drive space/CPU etc... we've got one or two 'obsolete' computers in our garage that are probably about the same sort of era as your box.

Appreciated.

In trade, I'll give you guys a CD with a whole bunch of 4e material.
