I'm not bashing here, just stating the facts as I see them. My computers may be slow but I choose not to play the constant hardware upgrade game that most in the MS world play due to a bloated OS requiring more & more system resources. Linux affords me that choice. The ROI these two computers have generated would be hard to measure.
You're absolutely right and I'm glad to see posts like this on the list! My server here at home is a dual Celeron 333 that's OC'ed to 550, 512MB of RAM and has been plugging away without incident for 6 years now. I think it's great that through the use of Linux, one is able to get new machine performance from less than new machines. I always tempted by the shiney upgrade but I can't justify the cost when the machine I have more than meets my needs for performance.
Welcome to the community! I hope your stay here continues to be as plesant as it has been so far!
