Day after day still usable Pentium III and 4 PC's and Laptops are finding their way in to Landfill because everyone believes their no longer usable. Well I'm here to tell you this isn't true if you install Legacy OS 2.1 LTS on this better built Hardware. Think about this "How many of these Computers died due to Hardware issues?" I still have many 14 year old PC's and Laptops still running. I've seen a lot of currently Hardware die within 2 years.
Now at my expense and time over the last 7 years I've released a legacy operating system to keep these Pentium III computers useful. Yes I'll admit a 350mhz Pentium isn't going to run HD Video but if we converted it to a more manageable format with the included tools it will.
This month I released Legacy OS 2.1 LTS on http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=legacy to save as many of these PC's as I can. I've also packaged the CD size iso with a range of super useful Applications to allow one of the old PC's to be put back to work doing a range of different tasks.
I'm assuming a number of forum members may have tried or are running Legacy OS in one form or another on an old PC they have lying around. If you'd like to share your experiences Good and Bad that would be great.
Lastly Legacy OS 2.1 LTS doesn't look like an out of date Windows 98 wanna be.
