[ubuntu-za] Very old computers

[Bill Cairns]

Our computer club (here in Kokanje - far in the bushveld) has been
given, over time, a lot of very old computers. We have eight which may
still work, but which are so old that it is difficult to know what to
do with them. They are all "pre-pentium", most do not have CD drives
of any sort while some (two I think)  have ancient CD readers.  Don't
ask about USB ports. None of the disk drives seem to work, but we do
have some spare disks that might be compatible.

Can I make a bootable Xubuntu stiffy? Or is a stiffy just too small?

Any other ideas?

There is an insatiable demand for cheap computers up here. But of
course, they must work!
