Kaj, I did it on a GX150 (1gb Celeron 256mb pc133 ram), no probs, even with the onboard Intel graphics chip set. The hardest part I had was getting a Nvidia card which was low-profile for it.
Tony. -----Original Message----- From: Kaj Haulrich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 10:39 PM To: Newbie Subject: [newbie] Dell Optiplex Anyone here managed to install Mandrake 9.0 upon a Dell Optiplex ? - If yes, what's your mileage / experience ? My reason for asking : I just contacted Dell Denmark and asked for an *empty* Optiplex. They were quite negative, asking why I don't want Windows preinstalled. I told them that I wanted to install Mandrake. Long pause. Then they cheered up quite a bit : Actually, they could deliver an Optiplex with Linux ( RedHat, I suppose) preinstalled ! Now, I intend to purchase the thingy and install Mandrake, figuring I can put the golden star upon the red hat. Comments ?
