Does someone have suggestions of appropriate systems? Mother boards? CPU's?
My frustration has built, and my old machines I know and love, just
won't let me build newer os's. One of my issues is the budget is
still minimal, but it will happen soon.
Suggestions on the 'next step' is appreciated.

Why? (grumbles and whines continue below)
I started today trying to build chrome OS from scratch, but just the
build process seems to require a 64bit processor.
Last weekend I just tried to install Ubuntu 12.04LTS, but it can't be
installed due to a required option
in CPUs. (my laptop i855PM, a Inter Pentium M processor is missing
the required option)
Thanks for your input...

Jack,
I have an extra Lenovo ThinkPad T61 I could sell you at a budget price.
[It has | They have] Windows Vista COAs on them and I don't have nor
do I want Vista; all of which make these great machines for more recent
OSs. While they may only have one or two GB of memory, they may have
four. No that isn't 8 cores and 32 GB of memory but remember the budget
part. They do have 64 bit processors. I can even include a docking
station.
