Greetings From Dell Optiplex SX60
« on: November 14, 2009, 08:06:06 pm »
Well, as I said before. I was running Ubuntu 9.10 on my old Gateway. It works but it could be slow at times.

After 55 years, Valley Diagnostic Clinic shut its doors. This is where I spent 5 years of my life taking care of the network. I left 5 months before it closed but I am doing some work for a few of the doctors that are opening their own practice so I have been in and out of VDC over the past few weeks. Well, this thursday they started putting stuff up for sale for the public. I managed to snag a box full of ethernet and two computers that were on sale.

Now, the guy that replaced me was in charge of making sure there was no patient data in these computers so he took the hard drives out AND the memory! The memory??? ugh... luckily I had a 512 stick here at home.

So, I put Ubuntu 9.10 on this thing and its running good:

Its a Pentium 4 with a 2.4 Ghz CPU.

Very small form factor also.
