Hello, my name is Rees and I’m a vintage computing and retro gaming enthusiast and tinkerer from the UK. You may know me from Instagram, BlueSky, or maybe even YouTube.
Or maybe not.
The Purpose of this website
On this site I’ll go into more detail on my various projects and share the technical info behind what I do. I’m sharing this because Google and other websites are invaluable in helping me to tinker with my hardware projects, so I needed a place to document for the benefit of others who might find themselves in my situation.
Here’s are my documented projects and guides that may or may not have videos yet, including the most complete history of the cancelled Atari Panther anywhere online! Where I use defunct websites from the Wayback Machine, I try to rescue and reconstruct them and host them in my website archive.
This site is deliberately compiled to lightweight static HTML and hosted on GitHub Pages to keep the information within as available as possible for as long as possible. I also try to contribute stuff to The Internet Archive.

Exploring Red Hat Linux 6.1 (1999) On Original Hardware
Red Hat Linux 6.1 was released in October 1999, 25 years ago this month! Previously I installed it on my Pentium 100 and worked through a few configuration issues - now it's time to check out the state of those early GNOME and KDE desktops and the rest of the Deluxe package!
