Which operating system are you using? - Page 4

I was going to sell it in-house. My parents need a new comp because their old PII isnt cutting it anymore. They dont want to venture out into linux territory though.

I was thinking of mandriva but i heard it was a resouce hog. Its a 2.1ghz celeron with 1gb of valueram. Would that be sufficent to support it?

I searched Google, and i found a page stating that you need a 500Mhz P3, 256MB RAM, 1GB HD, and 32-bit graphics to make it run smoothly.

Your celeron would be a rocket on it. Bill Gates would even be suprised.

Thats good too hear. Part of the reason i havent sold it already is that ive been putting off buying a new hdd for it. My old 40gb hdd has a bad sector and is unable to start windows due to an error. Its quite annoying...

you forgot sarcasm tags.

Anyway I use XP home, XP Pro, Win98se and DOS 6.22, I also have a copy of Linux which loads purely off a CD.

ONe of my computers triple boots but the others just have 1 OS.
