First off, can youse guyse please change the subject line wher you
take the topic so far off the origoinal.

Second. if I was interested in trying EMC and had an old PC laying
around....

Considder I would want the grah\phics screens


What is a decent PC to use ?

Pentium 200 ?
40 gig HD ?
128 meg ram ?

I have motherboards for a 133, a 166, a 200, and a 350 in the event I
need to use one.

And, as for BDI, just how brain dead are we talking ?

can us guyse who just barely install windoz with a problem make linux
work ?
