Just installed Ubuntu on the computer I pulled out of a dumpster at LeTourneau this semester.
2.8 GHz Pentium D
512 MB RAM
15.4 GB IDE hard drive
The hard drive I pulled out of a separate computer that was even older. I suspect there is a bad sector or two in it. I should really get a new one, but I don't want to spend much money on a hard drive for a computer that I didn't pay a dime for. I am borrowing the RAM from my Dad, so I may just buy a GB online for $10 later. 512 megs is killing me.
One thing is certain... I am getting a renewed appreciation for just how far computer technology has come in the last 6 years.
