I am sorry about posting this in this section. But I have no idea where else it is best suited.
I have acquired a pretty old laptop which is about 10 years old. To give you an idea of the age, it cost £1000 and has 0.5GB of RAM. This was from my sister but she wants the hard drive out of it as it has her photos and such on it (I plan to put this into an enclosure for her until it fails which I assume with be fairly soon).
If I were to use it (with a replacement hard drive), I would most likely install linux on it to get the most power from it if I were to use it as a computer.
Is there anything better I could do with it though?
Even as far as selling it for parts or scrap material somewhere?
