Since the 2 other PCs in your office that we were prepping got thrown out, I thought I would push forward with trying to get some other equipment on line in the next few weeks. Currently, I am refurbishing a Pentium IV that I found in the garbage in my neighborhood in Queens. I installed OpenSuse, but I am having some problems getting KDE/X Windows running. Since I put an old video card in it, I believe that may be the problem. I will purchase a used one from my hardware supplier in midtown with more memory on it. The PIV has 128 MB of RAM and a 6 GB IDE hard drive.
Interestingly enough, I did a test install with WinXP and it went smoothly with the older video card. Hmmmm.
