This is, actually something I would like to do. Anyone know of good Computer Museums in areas they've been in? (I remember a good one, South of San Francisco, but that's on the other side of the Country from North Carolina).
I have a couple that I REALLY want to make work, in a Museum Environment: A G3 Apple iBook, with the last Dual Boot to Apple's OS-9 (with OS X Jaguar on the other side. Look THAT up!). I also have an Apple G4 iMac "Desk Lamp", where the Disk Drive gave out. (And it had the Archive of my Classical Music CD Collection). To get, at least a *little* back on Topic, I successfully booted an old Debian DVD on the iMac (which, by the way, last ran OS X Panther). Unfortunately, it had trouble with the Graphics. But, with the knowledge from these last couple years, I'm sure I can find Firmware and Drivers that could work.
Yes, in the olden days, I liked Apple. Then, they dropped Power PC and I was Livid! (What's the best protection, from Windows Viruses? How about a totally different CPU Architecture, where the Virus can't get anywhere.
Anyway, I am, right now, experiencing why Debian is so much better for Computer Experts than Ubuntu or, Especially Mint. (The Mint Install only works from its Live DVD, which I am running on XFCE, on a Lenovo Ideapad 320. What could possibly go wrong?) So, for anyone who is looking for Debian-like Alternatives, I give Thumbs Down on Mint 20, but *do* have a message in their Forum.
But back to the Computer Museum, anyone else experience those?
Thanks for being patient with me.

Good evening Debian User, I have found an old PC with these specs:
CPU: Pentium III 700 Mhz;
DRAM: 64 MB SDDR
GPU: RIVA TNT-2
HARDISK: 10 GB
FLOPPY DISK DRIVE
MODEM 56K
In the receipt is written 3,000 Lire (1,500) Euro of today...
Do you think I can install something different than the already installed
WIN98 system ?
