[brlug-newbies] HP Pavilion Tower

[Joe Fruchey]

Ubuntu's great. Real easy. That machine is underpowered for it, though.

I've been itching to give the new gOS a run, but even with e17, that
hardware's a bit slow.

Your biggest problem is going to be the RAM. If you want to run
anything on it besides DSL or Puppy, you're gonna need more memory.
What's PC133 running on eBay these days? Buying it new will be
expensive, what with supply and demand and whatnot.
