PhatPlaya: i used hp unix in college and sometimes use it at work now

i used to love unix because it was so 'light' compared to windows which simply loads everything an average users might need (and then some more :))

nowadays the linux distributions include a heavy graphical user interface (often kde) and several other processes which increases the load

my idea was to turn my old 200mhz machine in a fast unix machine ... but i dont think that will work with any of the standard new distributions .. so i will have to do some tweaking :)

i havent used it at home yet .. i am in the process of sorting out the data on my harddisks, back up the important parts, and format and install xp and linux on it .. i dont know which distribution yet though

i had linux on my pc at work .. but i couldnt get it work with the network card (barebone system with a network controller on the motherboard) .. found some sites about it .. but neither worked .. i gave up back then as i had more projects starting up .. will have to try again it in the near future :)
