In this ongoing section I will be putting myself to the test, when I have time, to find out what an old probably would have been thrown away by now computer can do. I will be fixing up a Pentium 2 300MHz, getting the most out of a severely old machine.
My first step was installing Linux, which failed the video adaptor is too old or is unsupported, the PCI video card was a S3 Trio64, looks to be prehistoric. I replaced it with some old, but not-as-old Matrox PCI card I found and all seems to be well. I loaded fedora 9 live CD, a fully featured opterating system with tons of apps on a single CD.
