I have this old laptop sitting around collecting dust. I paid good money for this thing 5 or 6 years ago, but now it can’t run the latest Windows software. Otherwise, it works just fine. So what should I do with it?

Problem 1: My old laptop works fine and still has some life in it, but technology has passed it by.
Problem 2: My garage needs to be cleaned and organized in a major way, but I am not that motivated to spend a lot of time out there.
Solution: Maybe I can load Linux on the laptop and use it to play music and videos (and work on my much negleted Myspace page) while I work on the garage.

Next step, see if I can cram a version of Linux onto my Compaq Presario 1700 (P3, 64MB Ram, 6GB HDD)!
