Can't decide between ftp server or web server, otherwise I have absolutely no use for it even tho xubuntu and arch + xfce run perfectly fine on it.

Where can I cop one, senpai?

Was running arch + xfce used it for bedside media player and irc, got really bored one day and put 7 on it, then updated to 10, holy shit what a mistake that was. Went back to 7, not much better but at least it's usable. Haven't bothered to reinstall arch but that's obviously the next logical step. /coolstory>

MSI U-100 with 21" 1080p monitor.

Installed lubuntu, add Chrome and giving to relative as mostly idiot proof facebook machine.

The OS base 140/170mb ram use actually allows this 2008 netbook to be useful.

OK I feel guilty I lied, I haven't set up email or VPN yet :/

>>52353535
sell it, get a nice HP micro terminal instead, then use it as a server.
laptops are not designed to work 24/7, mainly because of heat slowly killing the battery and the hdd, also they're loud
>>
>>52362556
Cant care less about the battery but elaborate on hdd
They use standard 2.5 inch drives ,how can 24/7 operation damage it more then it does with usual workflow
>>
>>52362619
consumer grade 2,5 inch HDDs are NOT designed to work 24/7, believe me. I've tried using them in corporate environment in micro servers and they usually die after couple of months of usage. 2,5inch SAS drives is a different story.

>>52353535
Still using it.

I run OpenBSD and use it for when I need a smaller laptop, better battery life, or both

Popped in an SSD, it came with a 3G card, and I swapped the Wi-Fi card for an mPCIe to PCIe adapter
>>
>>52353535
sold it to poorfags
>>
swaped mine for a Elitebook 8470p and gave the old one to my mother.

VPN
BBC, Amazon TV
Emails
Office

before that I used it for indiegames, movies, tv, vpn, mail, uni

If I my mom doesn't need it for a while I put some Linux on it to make it faster. Windows 7 just seems too slow atm

Heya g, I'm looking for a cheap laptop for the sole reason of playing dwarf fortress.

So bad graphics, bad battery, good cpu and good display

Any ideas come to mind?
>>
Never had one.

>>52363176
What do you mean by "office"
>>
>>52362683
I'm using mine for arroud 3,5 month now , still works fine for me

>>52353535
I have a 10+ year old laptop. I only use it to operate an old scanner+printer combo which only have software for XP.
>>
>>52354293
That looks like it would be really comfy in bed, late night
>>
sitting in a shelf doing nothing because the fan doesn't work consistently and I don't like house fires
>>
>>52363352
Some of the older HP envies might have what you want, it's worth having a bash at refurbished units on EBay
>>
>>52363352
Does it have to be a laptop, cheap used desktop seams more bang for buck
>>
My 5 and a half years old vaio works great, never had to take it to the shop, even battery runs for an hour.
