    Tell me about my computer

    Well, it's a Celeron clocked at 1.1GHz, uses PC133 RAM, and thats about all I know. What socket is this? Anything I can do with it? Any games it's powerful enough to run a server for? I might just use it as a file server, or just put it on my shelf

    Flashing the bios in linux?

    My next computer will be linux-only, but I'm curious how you would flash the bios this way. From what I've read, in the case of the Asus K8N-E, you must have windows (DOS) to do it. Am I wrong?
