These old Dells make decent file servers for small lans. I had one I stripped of all unnecessary parts for that that purpose. Simply load it up with a lightweight linux distro and samba and you are ready to rock.

Mario I don't believe I have, but Windows 98 I definitely do- being both Windows 98 SE (Second Edition) and Windows 98 standard. Both have product keys and untouched.
I have them on disc (CD), so If you want either or both, just let me know.But I couldn't get the os from it, seems like cd is corrupted. If you wouldn't mind can you upload standart edition for me please
It shall be done.
I'll upload all files from the CD ( I don't have the time to convert It Into a bootable ISO), and you can burn to disc thereafter. Nero does the job well.

If you wanna go really lightweight, you can go with something like Alpine Linux, but that's ridiculous.
I was actually looking at Arch,ClearOS and Slackware, see which one I would prefer to use, but thank you for the recommendations.

Arch is great!
VoidOS is worth checking out too, my next review will be of it. (fucking delays)
You might also like a BSD such as OpenBSD (security) or FreeBSD (idk).

Check your Private Messages.
I've uploaded and provided you with a direct link for Windows 98 SE. The original Microsoft documentation Is Included.
EDIT: Typo- due to exhaustion.
