He does mention pIII which is what confused me. Usually I don't get misled. Anyway why talk about PIII if you are talking in 2011. We live in a very changed world no? ;) Anyway if you want to buy fresh hardware just buy whatever your budget allows you and I bet you can run Debian on it. It is a non issue. However if you wish to run Linux on your PIII that is not a problem if you can run Debian. Remember, always. People's recommendations are based on preferences and knowledge. I may write something in C because I like C. Someone may use something else. Similarly there are no clear answers. -Girish -- G3 Tech Networking appliance company web: http://g3tech.in mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
