3) Find an old PC and install the distribution you want to use on it.
Use that to experiment with the
environment.
At today's prices, probably "better" to just build a new one.

I was researching the wares on offer at one of the local PC shops, this
one going under the hammer. I finished up not going, but on offer was an
intel mobo with preattached Atom processor. Normally retails here for
just over the $AU100. Add 2GB DDR2 RAM, a (special) case, a disk (laptop
disk?) and Bob's your uncle.
CPU power consumption? This is the greedy one of the Atom line at 8W.
Not 80, just 8. Thinks no fan, green-friendly, reasonable performance.
Probably would run Hercules well enough for small-scale zAssembly work.
