I encourage contributions from anyone who would like to add or correct something in this HowTo to contact me so I can fix it.

Creating An AS400 Terminal Client With An Old PC And Ubuntu
Author: anderwd • Tags: ubuntu • Comments: 0Creating an AS400 terminal with an Old PC and Ubuntu This how to uses Ubuntu 7.10 Server install. I am sure that this could be done with a much smaller install base, rather than server - I might have used the Alternative CD, or maybe even some other distribution like DSL, or Puppy Linux (if you needed GUI [graphical user interface] ). But for proof of concept this worked fine. I used an Old Dell GX100 Optiplex with 256 MB of RAM (I don't think I need any more that 128 [maybe even 64MB], but this is what was in the box when I pulled it out of the pile). It has a small form factor, and runs pretty quiet. My steps are geared toward English & US, so you may want to change those if your using something else =).
