Uses for an hoary computer next to linux?

What would be some cool things I could convert this old-fashioned computer to using linux?



Currently, I am thinking of a combination printer server/ webcam server/ regular server.



Also, I am unable to run more than one camera at a time (I am guessing because of USB speed, because I individual have 2 USB 1.0 ports) so would it work to install a USB 2.0 PCI card?

As for using Linux on it, great notion. I've had Linux running on lately about anything, currently using Ubuntu on my laptop, but I've gotten DSL Linux running great on my mature Pentium 133MHz 64MB RAM w/ no USB ports. You could probably host a camera on it, as well as a print server, but network Linux PC's to Windows PC's is sometimes confusing, though I can print from Ubuntu TO a Windows Vista hosted printer, but I've never tried the other way around. As for the USB 2.0, I'm sure you could connect two USB 1.1 cameras to indistinguishable computer and get two streams, most imagined it's not USB that's causing it, but the computer is too slow to run two cams at a time, much smaller amount serve them over a network/Internet.
