We got Mate running! This might be the best $20 computer anyone has ever bought. 😍

@art I"ll give you $25 for it! That's a nice return on your investment. 😏

@art I've got a $35 one here 😂 I got a free case with only the ram and HDD missing and got those off eBay for about $35. Put Xubuntu. I've been using it for a media box in my living room ever since. It's still 32bit and is at capacity with 3gbs of ram (although it said it could do four so I'm disappointed), but overall not bad for some light browsing and SD streaming.

What's yours running and how'd you get so cheap?

@ScribbleAddict Debian stable. There was no power cable so I haggled it down from $30.

Wow, what is "neofetch"? A command only in Mate? If I see the whirl, I think about Debian!?

@alm10965 Neofetch is rather universal. It was popularized with the Unix Porn scene. It's a fast and attractive way to show info about your setup. It's even on Windows and Android.
