Quite a few Windows XP era machines with Pentium 4's. These are up to
about 12 years old.
Also 1 Windows 98 era machine with a P3 @ 800 or 900 Mhz, running
Lubuntu 14.04, good for most purposes except Flash video.
I also have some REALLY old machines (P2 @ 400-600 Mhz, maybe even a
Pentium 1 in that mix) that I can run as LTSP clients, again good for
most purposes except Flash video.
The biggest constraints with the older hardware are having enough
memory, and having a well-supported graphics card.

Hi All,
How old is the oldest computer that you have in regular use?
I was prompted to ask this question by a comment that I over heard while
doing some Linux advocacy at my local community centre. They run
beginners computer courses (Windows only) so I popped along to see if
anyone would be interested in Linux and FOSS. There was a conversation
which included the statement "If your machine is 3 to 4 years old it
must be getting worn out, so you need to think about getting a new one".
This got me thinking about my own machines and I realised that my main
desktop PC (Pentium D 3.2GHz), that I use every day, will be 9 years old
in February, and it is still capable of running Ubuntu 14.04 very well.
So how old is your machine?.
Regards,
Barry T
