"Old Pentium" isn't very precise; the first Pentiums were in 1993!
The least demanding distributions I know are Bodhi,

Help finishing off Centos 7 RAID install
I've just finished installing a new Bacula storeage server. Prior to doing the
install I did some research and ended up deciding to do the following
config.
6x4TB drives
/boot/efi efi_fs sda1
/boot/efi_copy efi_fs sdb1
/boot xfs RAID1 sda2 sdb2
VG RAID6 all drives containing

Questions:
1) The big problem with this is that it is dependant on sda for

old hardware / minimal netinstall -> CPU fan control
I have just installed CentOS 6 i386 onto an old rack server (it's gonna be a
Bacula storeage server and is a 1U 1/2 depth chassis)
I did a minimum netinstall and so far so good. However, I have one problem.
The CPU fan is going at full speed constantly. Not a real problem apart from
(a) it will affect the fan's lifespan and (b) it's noisy.
I've done some Googling and found

yum install fails - itertoolsmodule.so
Hi Paddy,
I was suspecting the same, and from the output below I think you're right. However, I was hoping I could just repair this problem for now, and worry about replacing the HDD later. I need to resume some services that also seem to generate this same error.

yum install fails - itertoolsmodule.so
I've just tried a yum update on one of my C7 boxes and got the following output.
I'm guessing to fix this I need to re-install the RPM, but I can't remove it because of dependancies, so how can I fix the problem?
I've managed to download a later version of the RPM, but haven't managed to find the same version as the one installed.

Detecting empty office doc containing virus macro
We are receiving LOTS of emails that contain empty XLS or DOC documents with
embedded virus macros. These are getting past SPAMASSASSIN, Clamav and
Kaspersky.
I'm trying to write a filter for EXIM to block these emails but I need to know
a good, quick, command-line to detect an empty doc with a macro.
Is there anything available that I can use??
I have managed to write a PERL script to

That is not the only harm. These people are very good and very effective
confidence tricksters and are experts at getting vulnerable people to send
them money which they usually cannot affort to lose in the first place.

You?re giving two very mixed signals here.

Airprint to old printer using Centos server
Hi folks,
I've found a number of articles on setting up a Linux / CUPS / Avahi server to
allow airprinting, but they all seem to be quite old.
Two questions:
1) Does anyone have a link for a more recent article, hopefully specifically
for Centos7.
2) I'm on a structured, VLAN network. Will I have to put a WIFI card into my
Centos server to give it a presence on the WIFI before this

xinetd custom service - perl - remote address
Hi all,
I can't believe that I can't find the answer to this one. I have a perl script which is called by xinetd.
I want that perl script to be able to detect the remote IP address of the caller.
I presumed that it would be an environment variable but I could be wrong. I've found reference to the ENV and PASSENV arguments for xinetd.conf but no examples, and no indication of what
