I understand there are some real benefits to running it on servers, but for the average user, it’s mostly good for learning a new system. If you mess up, you can always start over. Good for learning security best-practices. And, good for trying different systems.

I have 3 Pentium 150 Mhz boxes right now. One has a wopping 8 mb ram. These things get dropped off, and unless I decided to make a museum, not much I can do with them. Free Geek Central Florida doesn’t have recycling connections yet. But, floppy booting up DSL, and loading it on the hard drive ( 1.8 Gb) isn’t too bad. On the machine, DSL is about as fast as Windows98, but not faster. Ethernet on those machines difficult. You have to find some ISA cards. One of the machines has no PCI slots. I think that one is actually a 75 Mhz machine.

I’m not sure what cable speeds you get in Japan, but the fastest I’ve measured our ‘broadband’ here in Central Florida about a max of 5 mg/s. How is it USA got so far behind? For me, there’s no real difference wired or wireless, unless I walk down the street. Then again, I have this super-max wireless booster system going. Full signal 20 houses down.
