Just got ubuntu up and running.

That old machine seems to run faster than it ever did with WinXP ... The user interface is a lot slicker than the X based stuff in IRIX and SunOS/Solaris I remember from the ‘90s. Software is a lot more mature as well.

Awesome. Hope you enjoy it! With any luck it will now give you years more service.
