Post the oldest working PC you have and what you use it for
this is an Asus eeePC 1000H from 2008. It can barely open a web page these days but otherwise it works great. I'm basically keeping it to see how long it will last

I've got 7 or 8 Dell Vostro 200's for running small stuff, though the oldest still has the original XP install for running old ass software that doesn't work on Linux or Win10.

picrel was my oldest computer: ThinkPad r50 running openbsd with 512mb of ram.
saddly it died for no reason last month...
Christian Brooks
I don't have anything THAT old, but it reminds me of my school's computer lab. Fucking IBM business shit with 32 BIT pentium 4 processors. Something interesting is that the CPU doesn't need a cooler but the mobo does.

yeah i'm one but it's not everyday i get to play with such tech
Ian Rivera
Thinkpad A30p running Windows XP. The battery is long dead and I can't find a replacement online. Otherwise it's in great condition.
Been thinking about installing Haiku on it, see if it works.

Install Gentoo!

I have a 2 GB memory pc that freezes with Debian mate. Maybe Firefox kills it? What do.
Elijah Bell
2GB is on the low end for sure but even my 1GB machines don't freeze with Firefox. But I block all scripts and don't use any media playback in the browser itself

I used to run a Linux with desktop on 8MB in the 00's. 100MHz Pentium laptop.

>CPU is from 1990
damn son you BTFO everyone here. Can it actually do something useful? Does all the hardware work? I know that Debian on Motorola CPUs is unofficial

You can run X and X forward from a Linux host and pretend you're running modern software.
Here's native Mac OS though.

Based. I have an EeePC 1000HE, it's only barely newer than your model. It's the only remaining system I have with VGA out, so I basically just use it to test old CRT monitors. I'm also trying to get 32-bit NixOS to run on it. So far it's been a tremendous pain in the ass, but I'm stubborn and autistic, so I'll get it working at some point.
William Sullivan
if it ever dies you can get plenty of chinky $150 mini-PCs off Aliexpress with VGA out
Brayden Perez
is that Windows 95? I'm surprised it can even handle that. Wikipedia says that CPU is from 1985
Austin Perry
Not really that old but not the newest either.

Sick. Thanks for the tip, user.
Dominic Perez
That's Windows 3.1.
>Wikipedia says that CPU is from 1985
Yeah.
Wanted to post this instead.
Carter Foster
Also orange gas plasma lewd weeb shit.
Daniel Morris
the 386 architecture is 1985 but the CPU is more like 1988
did you add that start menu and taskbar yourself? I don't see it on 3.1 screenshots
