As for the stats on the computer I'm not sure. My neighbor is this really old guy and he says that the computer is about 6 or 7 years old. He says he knows it has a pentium 2 but that is all. It currently has Windows 95 on it and I would imagine the HD has a few gigabytes on it. As for the video card I couldn't even begin to guess. I will go ask him later. I was thinking of putting at least RedHat 6.0 (where the graphical version start I think) on it. I hope this helps in the way of stats... but I don't really know the stats either.

And I was thinking, it does sound pretty cool to experiment with Linux... so I think I am leaning in that direction and I know I can put Windows and Linux on seperate HD's but is it possible to put them on the same HD??
