If you do get it, install Linux. I tend to like either Debian or Mandrake 8.1. However, if you want to get the Windows-compatible software, install it, but put it on a second partition.

I would probebly do a dual boot install of mandrake and win 98. I have had good luck with that in the past. What kind of crunching speeds do you think it would get?

ubero or RC5.
SETI sucks on celerons.
But that isn't really a good price for that system.

It comes with 128 ram, my bad. And that is a good price for the whole deal like that.

Load Windows 98 and disable almost everything that isn't required for DC (connectingf to Internet, basically) and install Ubero. Ubero is alright on Celerons. Not as good as RC5 on G4s.
