List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi listers, I've been on the list before but it's been a couple years probably. I have an old Packard Bell box. I no longer have the recovery CD and am having trouble finding a replacement. It has been a good door stop and dust collector but now I've been wondering about running linux on it. Sorry, I don't have the model number handy. It has a AMD K6 with about 366Mhz. 64 MB RAM. 6GB hard drive. Don't know if the riptide sound card/modem still work. I have a DoubleTalk I can put into it. Will it handle linux? I have a box set of RedHat 6.1 that includes boot floppy and manuals. I have moved a couple times since I bought it and will have to dig through some boxes to see if I can find the RedHat disks and stuff. My son is using the computer up in his room at the moment just for playing a couple old games. Any better, quicker, or easier ways to get the Packard Bell loaded with linux? I need to have it talk to me. from Keith H. card
