Anyone got some good sticks laying around? my good machine caught fire last night (yeah literally caught on fire) total loss. I had to dig up this old HP Pavilion 753n out of the bonepile. it works but it is slow laggy as hell.

anyone got any pc2100 266mhz sticks laying around? would like to get this box up to at least 2gb ram.

I have only found 1 512 mb stick. I am pretty sure I have a couple 1 gb sticks here somewhere. I will look more tomorrow. Was busy hanging lights today.

thanks, kinda wish I never got rid of all the old computer stuff I had.... then again I never thought my good computer would actually catch fire.

No luck so far but my garage is a disaster. Between the kids just throwing stuff in there and the dogs chasing the cat around in there I am having trouble finding half of my parts boxes.

Tell you what... I have access to some much newer machines. They were purchased in bulk from a college auction. They are quad core running at 2.4 or 2.6 gHz and have 4gb of RAM. If you can wait a few days until I can get to where they are stored, Santa will ship one to you. Just add monitor, keyboard and mouse.

That work? I can't find any of the PC2100, 2700 or 3200 I had laying around here. I may have finally gotten rid of it.

BTW, these may or may not have Windows 7 on them as well. I think they at least have a working license key. Not sure what's left in the stock. Some had them, some didn't. They all had a 160 to 250 gb hard drive.

Cool. I will be going to the storage site tomorrow evening. I have three of these in my office and they run Linux quite nicely.

Cool. I'm liking CentOS a lot, especially for servers. But outside of that, for anything that isn't a Raspberry Pi, I like Mint Cinnamon.

I like Debian for the stability. packages might be a touch older then say mint/ubuntu but man is it stable. Most of my linux exp. has been with Debian so I guess for me its a comfort thing.

Actually, Ubuntu and Mint are Debian based, so some packages in Debian might be updated a bit sooner. I never really looked into how the package flow goes, to be honest, and I develop software haha.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, there is no wrong when it comes to Linux :snicker:

BTW Debian was the only flavor of Linux I could get to install on some old HP servers I inherited from a radio station in New Orleans after Katrina. Everything else bombed trying to install on the big RAID array, but Debian happily installed and ran just fine. It's a good O/S. IMO Ubuntu is too dumbed down now. Great for the average user who needs user-friendliness and for things to just work but not get into the bowels of things, but not for someone who likes to tinker around with stuff. I spend a lot of time in a terminal window.

Debian has the stable branch which is pretty damn stable, Ubuntu pulls from sid. lts from testing
