| Reviving an old PC with MEPISLite |
Sep. 21, 2005
Nobody likes to see an old, potentially usable PC go idle. Yet, this happens all around us every day. How can an old geezer box be revived and still offer decent performance? Linux-Watch.com columnist Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols suggests giving those old machines a new lease on life with MEPISLite Linux.
"For starters, it is a complete desktop Linux system. You're not going to sit down at MEPISLite and find yourself wishing for functionality that's not there," he writes.
"Oh, of course, you have to work with KOffice, instead of OpenOffice.org, but for day-in, day-out work, KOffice does every bit as well as the more feature-full OpenOffice.org. And -- this is the good part -- it (MEPISLite) will do it all on very old, very slow machines," he continues.
Do you have an obsolete box in your home or office? Wait! Don't junk it yet! Read the rest of Vaughan-Nichols's article at Linux-Watch.com.
