How To Revive An Old PC With Linux

  2007-03-25 09:30:03
What do you do with an old computer?

Sure, it could go to the landfill, or you might be able to get a tax deduction from donating it to a local school. Or, using a Linux-based operating system, you could turn it into a functional desktop, browser, and e-mail client, and put it back to work.
