This machine comes courtesy of the generous freecyclers. The machine and monitor was donated by Sharon. The keyboard and mouse are from Cheryl. The machine was missing a CD-ROM drive, so I installed one from Narender -- who also contributed a secondary harddrive to the machine. Keyboard and mouse comes from another freecycler who I can no longer remember -- but thank you!

Since the RAM was limited, I loaded Ubuntu onto the machine. It runs OK. The machine is suitable for surfing the internet -- email and the like, but not for watching streaming video. The typical Ubuntu desktop offers OpenOffice.org 2.4, which runs just fine. It obviously doesn't scream with performance on an older machine (see config below), but it performs well enough for occasional use.

  1. OMG! Is it true that Hindus worship PENIS?
    Stupid Religion in the World...
    I've recently learnt about hindus that from the millions of gods that they worship, they have have a god named Shiva Linga. It consists of the PENIS of Shiva and the VAGINA of another female god.
    Apparently "Linga" is a hindi language word which means penis in english. So does this mean that religious hindu women can use the Shiva Linga idol as a dildo for masterbating just to express their love for their so called PENIS god?
    What is this shit, Dear Hindus look yourself what are you doing???
