This is really nice. I once got a hold of an old Pentium when I had just started work and wanted to get Linux to work on it. It had 3.5" drives and no CD drive.

I used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MuLinux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MuLinux and got a basic system working without much hassle. I believe it even had a minimal X server running with twm or something. Enough to work on. I still maintain that after hardware ages a little, Linux (and perhaps other free operating systems and distros) are the only way to give a soul to the machine.
