[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: Installing SuSe 6.4

[Randal Brown]

I am not looking to the 486 anymore.  Received our "old" server from work.
Pentium 200 mmx  w/ a couple of upgrades, dvd/cd rom drive, 2 gig  hd and a
soundblaster sound card.  Not bad for free and much nicer than the 486 I was
in the process of building.  I was in the right place at the right time.
Thanks for you input.
