[QCLUG] Linux VS MS

[Harley McClure]

I've got a 2Gig Celeron Mobo I pulled from a fried e-Machine.  I'm assuming 
the mobo is toast, as it wouldn't POST even after I replaced the power 
supply.  The CPU and 2 256 MB RAM sticks may have survived, and I'd be happy 
to donate them to the cause.  The eMachine was a T2042 if you want to check 
specs.  I've also got the odd drive stacked in my spare pile.
