Waaay back in the day (2007) ;) If that's the case, I'd recommend distros such as SysRescueCD to get decent reports on recognized hardware and running stats and prolly help with preparing to install a new distro. Also, PuppyLinux runs super light and has tons of utilities and applications; although it rarely recognized my wireless adapters, it does have the wizards and modules for wireless networking. Also, it's a live cd designed to run persistently without full installation to the main hard drive, so it's great for test driving hardware and usability. Of course, if you have the system resources for more robust distros, then woohoo for Linux Mint!<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Back to subject...<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">PC Rescue Day, yes yes yes. I have a number of desktops-turned-paperweights that I'd like to get running again, hopefully sold. Maybe some new eyes would help reach that goal, because advertising "brokern-down, ancient, dusty PC just needs love" isn't selling as well as you'd think ;)<br>
