the reason to keep it, despite its slow and approaching old age rapidly in this day of opterons and coreduos, is so you can deploy it use it as a house hold server, no its not going to be a monster zfs fileserver, but it will pull duty of a simple home server quite nicely, put bind, ntp, dhcpd, apache, mysql, squid, firewall on it, and let it serve as a nice back bone to your house, if you happen to have more than one computer that family members use they will appreciate it that stuff doesn't break when you reboot your main box or X crashes and takes down the box... gui software is not as stable as it used to be. Its basicly a set it and forget it solution that will run for months with out a hick-up. James Dickens uadmin.blogspot.com
