I actually bought it on tape - had a JVC 'walkman' kind of thing, a bit larger than Sonys product ... and it was my favourite for the rest of that summer ...

I'd look at OpenBSD. I used it once as a transparent firewall. Didn't have any hacks that I know of, so I assume it worked.

The Red Hat 7.1 I have (from 2001) seems to require a minimum of 32MB and a 486. Does your system have a 3.5" floppy drive?

Linux is for kids.
The grownups use FreeBSD.
M0n0wall[^] and pfSense[^] are FreeBSD firewalls that operate off a livecd, USB stick or, CF card. They recommend 64MB RAM.

Hi All,
Any recommendations for a printer (colour yes, wireless printing nice but not a deal breaker) for use once or twice a month (or less) usually to print-out instructions & the odd letter(?)/web pages. My Canon i250 that I was using with out problem refused as the waste ink absorbers are full, I am planning on taking it to bits and trying to clean them (purchase delayed until failure to complete) I have grabbed a pair of rubber gloves for the purpose. Now to search boob tube for a how to vid!

Canon Pixma 6450 printer/scanner wifi airprint thing seems very good (got one before xmas)
I have a spare if you're in the UK BNIB

looked at that one, I have a separate Canon scanner though...

I use Epsons - have for ages. Mostly because they are very economic to run, since the printhead is not part of the cartridge (unlike HP) and they use separate cartridges for each colour - so if Cyan runs out, you don't have to chuck away Magenta and Yellow as well. They also have a fairly straight paper path which means they can take thicker media (I get 260gsm photo card through easily) and don't peel labels off internally either...
Currently I have a BX305FW which includes scanner with sheet feed and a fax (not that I use that part) and has wireless built in. The exact model is probably well out of date, but they will do an alternative for around £100.

You ink so ? 
Although I'm a Canon fan for most things I steer away from Canon for printing. I have an HP printer/scanner/copier (with wifi stuff) and am very happy it. The previous HP I owned was also very good. The 2 Canon printers I had before were nothing but trouble. Our current HP was close to 100€ so nothing majorly expensive.

After having issues with ink printers (not working anymore if not used for 2-3 months in a row etc.) I resorted to a laser printer (from Samsung). Got one with scanner, wifi etc. all inclusive. The color quality may not be as good as with ink printers, however, I also don't have to wait for the paper to dry up And it's a hell lot faster than those ink printers.
Didn't regret it yet. They might be a bit (yeah, maybe a lot) more expensive than inkjets, but they are quite affordable compared to a few years past.

I agree with Griff; Epson do really good quality at a very low price. Our Epson DX3800 (probably superceded now) cost £50 eight years ago and is still going strong. You can buy cheaper ink cartridges at any of the UK online outlets (I use printerinks.com). It's not wifi but for only occasional printing that is far from being a necessity.

Brother Lasers are very good.
You can pick up the printer for a reasonable price.
The problem most people see is the toner looks expensive, but given the amount of prints available from it then it works out about the same as per an ink cartridge.
The advantage is that it doesn't dry out like ink.

It is a full colour wireless printer with NFC, so just pop your tablet down on it and print!
Samsung are a good make too and this one is on special offer at PC World.
