Back in November, I paid $5 for a Dell Dimension L550R. It came with Windows 2000 Professional, a 550MHz Pentium III processor, and 256MB of memory. Basically, it was good enough to surf the Internet, type some documents, or run a lightweight programming IDE. With only 85 watts of power, I was able to boot it up after dropping in faster CD-Rom and 1GHz Pentium III. The problem arose that the new system would be running on a TV and I wanted it to be fast since I wouldn't be doing any hardcore gaming or software development. So I chose Puppy Linux v4.3.1. So i leave you with a quote that takes after the old Life cereal commercials, "Puppy eats anything. He Likes It! Hey Puppy!"
