Linux system for sale
Name: Sakaki (Hey, I built it, so I get to name it).
Sakaki is a Compaq Deskpro EN (small form factor) system with an 866 Mhz
Pentium III and 512 MB RAM. She has a 40 GB hard drive, CD-ROM and
floppy. Also built in video and sound. PS/2 mouse and keyboard,
parallel, serial and USB ports. Note that she does have onboard am NIC,
but I found it to be unreliable under Linux. So she has a 3COM NIC in
one of the expansion slots.
The PC has a full-size CD-ROM bay, so you can put in a CD-R or a DVD
drive. She has 2 expansion slots left. She will take full height
cards, but may not take long cards. Half-length cards will fit with no
problem.
She comes with mouse, keyboard and power cord. All you need to supply
is a monitor (and speakers if you like good sound). She is preloaded
with Mandriva Linux 2006 Power Pack with all the updates that were
available when I built her (within the last couple of weeks). You get
the Mandriva CD-Rs that I used to install her.
Sakaki is $100
(Basically what I was charged for the hardware.)
