So il install my programs i need to work and keep my backups on there and stuff like that, instead of cloggin ma new pc or ma laptop up with crap.

^^^Are you gonna be able to do all that in linux?
I support the linux idea but when i used it there were alot of things that i wanted to do but couldnt because they were either not possible or too difficult.

Not putting down linux, just making sure that it will suit your need.s

How about getting windows 2000?, that is more stable to do them things on.

^^ The problem with that is drivers and only being able to use IE6. Which means you cant go onto newer websites.

I cleaned out my old PC yesterday. I took everything apart and gave it a nice clean. Now I want to do something with it. It is jammpacked with sh*t. I created the thread to ask about reformatting but i cant be bothered now. Can anyone give me any ideas about what i can do with it???
