The Ubuntu Experiment

I have just aquired an old Compaq Deskpro, circa 1998 It cost me a dollar and some leg work. It still works ok but it has minimal power. In an attempt to prove a concept I am going to set this box up with Ubuntu and attempt to finish a client job using only the free software I like to use. I will also investigate some new possibilities being developed in cloud computing. The plan is to use this to store or cache the work for delivery to my client. I will be posting about the process regularly.
