    Hey folks,

    I'm trying to get my hands on a P3 to setup a Linux distro on so I can get some hands on experience with it. I've posted this to the Wanted forum already but thought I might just throw it in here to sympathetic ears.

    I'm looking for a PIII 550-750 mhz, 15-20 GB (or bigger) HD, 128-512 MB RAM, DVD or CD Rom, Floppy, USB 2 (1.1 will do), 10/100 NIC, onboard sound and video is expected but a nice golden oldie card (8-16MB) on it wouldnt be too bad! Looking to pay around the 90 mark.

    Cheers

    Nothing comes for free in today's world. Why can't you just set up a dual boot on your current system?

    Sorted, thanks for the reply achilles. Just want to try a few things out without possibly damaging the much overburdened current system :rolleyes: . Really need to sort that out first :D

    Anywhoo, got sorted with one.

    Cheers
