WOW! If it was really that bad wouldn't internet providers do something about it? Black list untrustworthy ip addresses and such? I can't recall any outages with my internet provider having any problems 25 plus years we've been with them. That includes dial up and when I used XP on my daily computer …

but I don't have months of rehearsals to do. I need a method to connect them online as simple as possible (which does not mean that it has to be elementary, but that I don't have to choose the most difficult method if there is a simpler one). these are the network cards I own (but I can buy one if …

Fven small sealed psus can be easily opened with a scarple/small jewlers screw driver and careful use of a heat gun 😉 The plastic casing becomes quite plyable and fasy to work with.

Not Win3.11 but Windows for Workgroups 3.11 will. You need to add the tcp/ip network protocols though.

I'm sure someone had already brought it up, but I really hate laptop power bricks. Today I've decided to fix the brick for the docking station of my laptop. The thing is glued together instead of screwed. I sawed one side then pried it open with a flat head screwdriver. Fuck yeah' glued on …

so everyone advises me to use the lan, ok, I have read the steps you suggested, I did not understand everything but I will try, I ask you here the points that have blocked me. However, I try to count the free slots, because having only 3, 2 of which are shared between pci and isa, one occupied for …

Oh, it's fun sticking a non-patched XP machine directly on the internet and watching it get overrun by malware within a matter of minutes. BS do you care to wager? XP can tip toe through the net without issue if you know what your doing. I've heard this BS for years, I guess the internet doesn't …

from what I understand it is possible to put them on the net but it is not a simple thing, I have some knowledge of the DOS of the times of 486 onwards but I see that I would have many things to learn to connect them together on the network and currently I have little time having work and two kids. …

The OPs comment about XP being threes faster than Mint is a total fib. It's certainly not believable at all. Most of my Linux systems are ex XP boxes and run as fast if not faster than XP Pro. My proof than a passing comment in a thread contrived to stir up controversy.

Lubuntu is light and functional enough for 1GB RAM. Lubuntu used to be light and functional enough for 1GB RAM, 20.xx is a pig. 18.xx is tolerable, 16.xx was last best on 1GB. Not surprised. Gone are the days when people really tried to make things run well on limited hardware. Keeping out bloat …
