Teh shiny!
My council-dump find, all spiffed up with a new OS and updated drivers. Runs fine (if a little slow). Can’t figure out why anyone would have wanted to toss it.

So what OS did you put on it in the end? That looks like Windoze, but I thought you were going to put Linux on it? Oh, but you’re waiting for a cd from Ubuntu/Canonical, aren’t you? Sorry, I’m v confused about virtually everything atmo, can’t remember my own name. Anyway, once you get Linux on, it’ll be a lot quicker, won’t it? And yes, it looks lovely. I’m very jealous. Always the bridesmaid, that’s me.
