You can use no PC other than this for everything you need to get done on a PC, what's your plan?

I don't need to get anything done
Install Linux or BSD.
Based windows XP digits
Install Gentoo and take a two month vacation while waiting for it to compile everything
i already do
Sounds like fun
I would:
* install debian with icewm
* install the maximum amount of ram the motherboard allows
* maybe install a cf card with an ide-cf adapter and install the os on that
* install a good agp video card that i happen to have in my junk box (if agp slot)
*check that the hard disk is in good condition and replace it if not
*replace the psu
Then it should be manageably useful for a lot of the stuff i do
>maybe install a cf card with an ide-cf adapter
mSATA SSDs and IDE adapters are much cheaper.
Do everything I do now, only slower.
I would install Void with JWM or IceWM. Just 40mb ram usage is great for an old PC like that which normally has 256-512mb.
Thanks, good to know
I might actually try an experiment like op suggests just for fun
Install TempleOS
Praise God 4 times a day
Protect my superior and free operating system from cia niggers by making her sing Bible Hymms
rdp into windows 10 laptop
wouldn't be hard
Ultima Online free to play shards.
ssh and rdp? sure.
That processor is way faster than OP. I'm assuming OP is a Pentium III 586mz. I had the 686mhz in my first computer. So slow! Pentium III 1ghz much faster. I could do what I do now on one of them.
FreeDOS.
What do you do now?
desu
im planning to reinstall ubuntu but with icewm this time instead of lxde
should be much better
not that it doesn't run fine but i think it would run excellent with icewm
Install Visual Basic 5
Ship of Theseus that fucker and start swapping parts
If it can run XP, it can do everything I'd ever need it to
Install Firefox around version 11 or so, balance between resource usage and HTML5 compatibility.
An IRC client
Daemon Tools 4.x (whatever version was the last one before it became adware)
Winamp 2.95
FFDshow
MS Office 2000
Emulators like SNES9x 1.49/1.51, Nestopia, GENS, MAME 0.120
VMDsound for playing dosgames in XP with sound (yes it can be done)
Games like Diablo 2, Quake 3, etc.
You can do a lot on a P3, I'd know since I've got a P3 733mhz laying around that I still fuck around on regularly with Win98. I shit post on Jow Forums sometimes with it too.
Install Linux with dwm, use terminal applications for everything, use MPV for video, feh for pics.
>586 megazertz
My nigga
OpenBSD or Debian then forget about and just use it. Also disabling javascript in the browser makes it a lot faster
These.
I would install X so I could take advantage of the full resolution of the monitor, but a really lightweight WM and run nothing but emacs and the most lightweight graphical browser I can find.
work on your opsec, nik
this one's on the house
you need Windows 2000/XP
and some proprietary software, microsoft office 2000 for example
you can do lots of work with such a thing and its better than any free linux and free linux based word+excel imitations
what would be worse then, when compared to linux?
the internet, do not fucking connect win 2000 or xp to the internet
What icons and them for your DE?
fpbp so much
>hiding a local IP
the actual state of (You)
>blurring 192.168
it says right fucking there!!! wtf is wrong with Jow Forums now????
LOL.
*Installs minimal Debian with i3 or LXDE*
So what icon and them plox
xubuntu
play warzone 2100 FOREVER
been there done that, i'd be fine
DESU it looks homosexual DESU DESU
Nice xp trips and dubs
Anyway I'm probably gonna install Jagged Alliance 2 and Mechwarrior 3, and probably use MS-Office 2007 and the best XP-based browser (Pale Moon / New Moon) to use my gmail and edit documents that need editing.
I can still do everything recreationally I want to, even if desktop applications wouldn't install, web-based options and VMs exist (if say I needed to use some dogshit like discord or youtube or something).
Now here's the real question - my job lets me connect in through Citrix receiver, which still works on winxp, but i'd be running applications on a remote server - Not sure if this works with your criteria, but it would work IRL.
This but unironically.
CAN YOU READ
READ THE TEXT IN THE TERMINAL
IN THE SCREENFETCH
Huh?

Correction this is with the new AT Gigabyte board I found recently, the original setup was a PCChips P3 board, this one has a VIA KT133 chipset too
This. Just use it with identical era software because modern shit is absolute bloat and its especially noticeable in direct comparison on old hardware. The hardest part would be a browser that supports all the nuweb shit and captcha.
You concerned me when I read PCChips, didn't want all of those nice components killed due to what might be the worst motherboard manufacturer that ever existed, glad their in a KT133 based motherboard now, that chipset was one of the best
>ms 2007
>palemoon
bloat
Opera 12.5 can do most everything modern (TLS 1.2 encryption even) and runs on Win98+Kernel EX.
It has issues with capcha sometimes, but if you suppres it and use the non JS capcha it's able to post with no problems at all.
Install OpenBSD
DUDE he's the hacker 192.168.0.1 You'll eat those words if you try to ddos him. He'll get you back in a matter of seconds
My plan is to buy fucking hundreds/thousands of them, because my job involves automated software testing and I don't feel like doing it by hand
A connoisseur, I see.
