Free computer

Went to Davie, FL with my sister to help her get Table. There was a computer (just the computer) there that the guy said his wife told him to throw away. I asked if I could have it and he said yes. It is a Dell Inspiron 537s [Pentimum Dual-Core with 2GB RAM and 500GB HD]. Took home and it booted right up with Windows Vista. At first glance there doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with it, other than having Windows Vista installed which hasn’t been supported for a while now. It’s specs are probably too low for any current version of Windows.

Quickly formatted and installed Linux Mint 19.1 XFCE 64-bit. XFCE is great for older hardware. It runs great! Attached it to my Ethernet cable [no Wi-Fi] and got on the Internet with no problems. Played a few YouTube videos just fine!

  1. Thanks for the kind words. I have no idea how I ended up on Yahoo. I don’t advertise or promote. Must have something to do with using WordPress, which I recently migrated my old log pages to.
