Hello
My name is Jake, I am primarily a Linux user.
My first computer in the 90's was a Windows 3.1 machine which sparked my interest in computers, I was young so I do not remember the specs or the make, it was not fast but it could run doom but it sounded horrible.
One of my friends who lived down the street when I was a kid had a Commodore 64 which I thought was awesome when he showed me that some of the software was on tapes rather than floppy's.
In about 2006 I decided to try a Linux distro and was introduced to FOSS loved it so much that I stopped using Windows.
Any way for my first vintage computer I want to get a computer from about 1985-1995, I want it to be compatible with Linux(386 and later should be compatible) and have decent specs for that era. I plan to mostly play with old versions of Linux distros but t would be a plus if it could run old DOS games, I may set up a dual boot.
I signed up for some advice on where I can find one of these old computers for a decent price.
I looked on trademe but there were not many options there and the few that I did see were too pricey for me, I would rather buy a complete working computer which I can upgrade if I need to, I can buy the display separate if I have to.
Regards, Jake.
