Should I give my old PC to a charity or school, or reuse it?

| My wife recently finished her MA (analysis

| an eight-year old Toshiba Portege running
| Crunchbang Linux. It starts faster than any
| of her colleagues' modern laptops (about a
| third of the time, with no virus check to
| make the first 30 minutes virtually
| useless), connects better to the wireless
| network at the university â

Consider Linux for Secure Online Banking

| When I earlier called Linux a better

| Of all the alternative operating systems, one stands out when it comes to
| great performance on lower-spec hardware - Linux.
|
| Those of you shaking your heads and turning the page, hold on. There are
| plenty of other options if you can't stomach Linux, but I can tell you right
| now they won't perform anywhere near as well as a well- tuned Linux setup, so
| bear with me for a moment.
