Need Another System (Freecycle Part 0)

I've decided I need another computer.

I have a Linux partition of my desktop system, and it's fine for getting acquainted. But Linux excels at being a server. If I'm switching partitions all day, I'm bringing the server up and down all day. When I'm in the Windows partition, my Linux server can't be, er, server-ing. Better to have a dedicated system. Besides, it's all the more tinkering and experimenting to blog about!


Then the question is how to acquire another system? I could build one, but I won't have the budget until the end of November, probably. I have modest needs - even a Pentium or Pentium II would be plenty. But buying one would be $70 or so, after shipping. That's kind of too much, considering that I want something that's on purpose almost obsolete.

Hmmmmm . . . .
