Yes, she has been left unused under my desk for a longer while now, but yesterday I decided to plug her back in. I nuked the old Gentoo installation and installed the oh-so-nice Ubuntu Breezy.
For all who don’t know; Lysboj (Swedish for “buoy that lights”) is my own desktop computer, a PII 350 that I have used as my primarily computer the last few years. The reputation for Lysboj grew as I used her in various LAN:s with my friends. Playing Quake just as good (sometimes even better) as the other people’s shiny P4:s and Athlons. Lysboj has been my primary focus when it comes to silly hardware projects and even though every part of the computer has been replaced several times it is still the same PII 350 as she always has been.
These are the current specs:
Processor: Pentium II Deschutes, 349. 107 MHz (690.17 bogomips)
Memory: 386828 kB
HDD: 80GB Segate
OS: Ubuntu Breezy 5.10
After a day of usage I can tell that she really feels swift and quick, and I need to get something new to work on. Ubuntu has the drawback that it makes you lazy
