Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Can a Pentium III (450mhz) have any practical use these days? Post 302114791 by Mark Ward on Wednesday 18th of April 2007 02:56:23 PM

Thanks for the reply, what I'm really after is application uses for these PCs rather than OS's to take a look at.

Applications on the lines of:- VOIP, X-10 Home Automation, TV Recording, CCTV server, Drum Machine, Music Sequencer (One PC has Creative Live Midi interface) etc. but obviously many of these these would be beyond these PCs.

Looking for a purpose for these PCs beyond an Internet terminal that's free basically.

I did think about using one of them as an FTP or Apache server.

Mark.

NAME
auplay - play a sound file to a Network Audio System server SYNOPSIS
auplay [-audio servername] [-volume 0-100] [-i] [-I] [-l] files... DESCRIPTION
The auplay program can be used to play audio data stored in the .SND, .AU, or .WAV formats common on Sun workstations and PCs. It is typi- cally used from shell scripts or command line procedures. If no filenames are given on the command line, audio data will be read fron stdin, unless the -l option is given. OPTIONS
The following options may be used with the auplay program: -audio servername This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which the files should be played. -volume 0-100 This option specifies the volume at which the data should be played as a percentage of the maximum possible volume. The default is 100 percent. -i This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed along with playing the data. -I This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed instead of playing the data. -l This option indicates that a list of filenames is to be read from stdin. auplay will play these files after playing any files given explicitly as command line arguments.
