    I've got a really old laptop (Pentium 3 with 2gb RAM, 120gb HDD, Broken Battery) What can I do with it?

    No, Linux life.
    Like a Debian or a Suse.

    I like how you say really old and then throw up those specs. :rolleyes:

    One of my laptops that is 'really old' that I currently have XP on (virtually useless) has...

    a 233MHz (POWWAAAA) processor and a rather large (for the time) 97MB or RAM. I am not even sure how big the hard drive is, but I know 150 blows it out of the water! :eek:

    But yea, I would throw linux on it and call it a day, heck, with those specs you can even run Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 if you felt like it.

    Turn in to a download computer, or link it to your TV to watch videos.
