Hey folks, Don from Iowa turned my head to antix (although I'd been using Mepis for awhile) and I'm currently trying to revive an old machine at work as a web workstation with it. So far I've had zero luck but when you're scraping the bottom of the barrel for hardware you keep trying.
I work as a trainer for a company that makes the things that make tv. Think kidnergarden teacher with much more expensive toys and thats about right. I'd like to think I mold technicians and make sure tv stations around the world stay on track but....

Ahh, even if it doesn't work on this old piece of junk it'll probably find a life on my laptop (1.8Ghz, 1GB RAM). I've got Ubuntu on it now and haven't been entirely satisfied. Although I did finally get it to play Windows media (lots of work in the terminal to pull that off).
