Free Geek: Donate Old Computers, Volunteer for a Free Computer
,----[ Quote ]
| What would an old computer be good for? The refurbished
| computers are older models but nothing obsolete, and are
| loaded with open source, minimalist software like the
| Ubuntu operating system. An older computer running Ubuntu
| is almost as fast as a modern machine running pretty but
| heavyweight Windows, and there's barely a difference
| between the two when using the internet.

5 Reasons Old Computers Love Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| There are hundreds of stories about people who pulled an old Windows 95/98/ME
| computer out of their basement, put some kind of Linux distro on it, and are
| in a computing heaven, blissfully unaware of the age of their computer. And
| you never hear about people pulling the same computer out and saying, âWow!
| Windows 95 solves all of my problems! Good bye, modern computing!â Why is
| Linux so dominant in this category?
