Let's break away from greed and oppression from MS. This is the perfect day to install Linux. I'm going to.

Installed like a pro. Everything was smooth and easy. Unfortuantely, I wouldn't part completely with Windows so I am dual booting Mandrake 8 and Win Me.

I've had this P133 sitting besdie my main machine for over 8 months now and there's always been something preventing me finally getting around to putting Linux on it.. at the moment, it's the lack of hard drive..

Don't try installing Mandrake 8 on it, you'll find you're not only lacking an hard-drive.

I have a P166 laying around. I need a CD drive for it and then I could put linux (I think I have mandrake 6.5 or something like that) on there.
I also have most of an Athlon Classic 600 system laying around. I was getting boot errors that I suspect were being caused by something wrong on the motherboard... but I can't help wondering if it's the power supply. I have a spare 250W laying around, so if I can remember to put in some RAM at some point (I have either 32 or 64MB of PC100 laying around at home). All I'd need then is a cheap-ass PCI video card (I have one ISA laying around that could go in either that or the P-166), a floppy drive and perhaps a CD although I could probably share that between that and the P-166. I should probably keep the ISA video card in the 166 because the athlon 600 only has one ISA slot, the 166 has like 3, and I have two ISA modems sitting around.
To make things even more interesting, I have a motherboard with a K6-2 at 300MHz that has onboard sound and video but needs a new cooling fan for the processor.
I also have a spare 14" Packard Hell monitor, in addition to my 17" Sony.
If it was in face the power supply making the Athlon 600 go screwy, then my ideal situation would be to set up the Athlon 600 with windows and run genome on it along with my main T-bird 1.2 system... and set up the 166 with linux so I can learn it, or maybe replace it with the K6-2/300 (since I think something's wrong with the P166 board as far as working with a mouse goes).
OK, that was about a novel. Basically, I've got mad computer parts laying around.
