O T - Where Can I Obtain ?
I have an old Dell Optiplex GX150 P3 computer. Nice machine, in very good
condition. It has a Windows 2000 COA label attached I have looked on ebay for Windows 2000 software but can't find any. I have also searched other places and still can't find any. I am seriously thinking of putting Ubuntu on it, but in hte past when I have put it on other PC's there has always been issues that don't allow it to run properly. Anyone got one of these machines and runing Ubuntu successfully ? Advice most welcomed James |

Shouldn't be any problem installing it - you have a licence - and *if* some idiot hasn't stuffed it with malware you should be OK. Regarding Ubuntu, for that machine i'd look at www.xubuntu.org using the XCFE desktop. Runs better on low memory machines with not much grunt, as opposed to the main ubuntu distribution which is heavy with Gnome/KDE. Be aware, if memory is restricted you may need to install in text mode using the "alternative CD" instead of the Live one. -- Adrian C |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember David Kennedy davidkennedy@nospamformethanksverymuchyou*******s .invalid saying something like: I have looked on ebay for Windows 2000 software but can't find any. I have also searched other places and still can't find any. Did you try really hard ? http://www.google.co.uk/products?q=windows%202000&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wf Did you bother even looking at the link you posted? |

It is not the full WinME system, just a collection of bits that worked like WinME. But it works anyway. It also updates from the MS network without problem, just accept the cookie and it works.

I have an old Dell Optiplex GX150 P3 computer. Nice machine, in very good condition. It has a Windows 2000 COA label attached I have looked on ebay for Windows 2000 software but can't find any. I have also searched other places and still can't find any. Did you try really hard ? http://www.google.co.uk/products?q=w...-8&sa=N&tab=wf I would rather put a cop of WinME on than get fleeced. I'll go for Ubuntu if I have to James If you have FTP, you can have a *******ised version of WinME from here ftp://basecuritysystems.no-ip.biz Username = anonymous password = password. It installs itself with few prompts. Already has coding. Not an actual MS OS, but works the same and gives loads of hardware drivers. HTH IO keep trying to hit it but it appears not to be there James If thats anything like the MS ME why is anyone bothering to download such a dog of an OS?.. Its a bit outdated now but WIN 2000 PRO was about one of the best MS ever did!... But whatever you do don't go for the Vister clap;(... -- Tony Sayer I have not been able to find a copy of Win2000Pro James You'd better get in quick with this one on eBay then. http://tinyurl.com/64ep5d Sorry, spotted the word Office just after I had posted. I've put my glasses on now. This appears to be the real thing though, also eBay. http://tinyurl.com/5hskl8 -- Keith W Sunbury on Thames (If you can't laugh at life, it ain't worth living) |

"BigWallop" wrote in message om... "the_constructor" wrote in message et... snipped The server gets used for other file transfers, so it's not always open for everyone. Just give me shout if you want it open. Yes please. Give me a time and date and I will endeavour to download James Give the server a try. Login user = anonymous password = password Enjoy. I don't know if anyone tried the server and found it running very sloooooooowwwww. That was my fault. I remotely told the PC's on the network to go to Scandisk, but forgot that the server is also on that network. It was trying its hardest to complete the scandisk job while still trying to serve files to everyone. I have slapped myself very hard for doing such a silly thing and have learned a good sound lesson on network administration. The server is now running at full tilt, so whomsoever wants a copy of the WinME files is welcome. Login details are as in my last reply. Sorry, again, to anyone / everyone who may have tried the server yesterday, and failed. |
