which OS for IBM Thinkpad T22?

Why the fuck would you use such an old laptop?
Anyway, put Arch or Fedora on it.

Tell him he is an idiot, Then install a low resource intensive Linux distro.

Debian with LXDE. Low memory usage.

>>56111322
>apt

Windows XP.

i actually own one of these, it's not that bad.

i run debian on it (parrotsec) for shits and kicks, which is a bit slow.

try bunsenlabs it's what crunchbang (#!) used to be.

I am afraid brother is too retarded to use any linux distro

what if I istall Win XP?

is it "dangerous" to use it because of no microsoft support?

will it harm our home network?

Install a gun and shoot yourself.

Sell it for $150 to some hipster on eBay then purchase him a laptop manufactured in the last decade.

>>56111486
If you give him a Linux distro with everything he wants pre-installed, it'll be way easier for him to use without breaking than XP. I've learned this first hand when I slowly transitioned most of my family's computers over to Linux.

Windows 2000 will be fine on it, that's what I run on mine.

>>56111486
Keep your shit behind a firewall, don't use it as a server like a retard and you'll be just fine. 90% of Windows breaches aren't through obscure exploits on unsupported/unpatched systems, they're user-authorized.

lubuntu

Windows XP and don't download anything from FreeCSGOHax.ru

Yeap. lubuntu on it.
I have an old netbook with lubuntu used as a seed box storage

>>56111286
OpenBSD

TinyCore. shit's pretty custom to make without a lot of need for compiling as well as you can add just what you want. I especially recommend it for small harddrives alongside low ram.

>>56111286
Win2k (security through obscurity) or XP

Arch or minimal Debian-based like #!++/BunsenLabs

>>56111486
Run the POSReady 2009 reg hack to keep getting """"security updates""""

I've never bothered looking for an ISO. I take it it's not difficult to find.

>>56114878
indeed

>>56114878
xDDD what an original joke anon, did you think of that yourself? Oh wait, of course you didn't, because it's literally posted every time I mention the OS.

>>56114911
You can get it at microsoft.com

>>56111286
Debian, probably with LXDE.

>>56114995
neat, I thought they took down all of their older ISOs

>>56111310
Same!

>>56111486
Ubuntu Linux can be used by any windows user. Just did names for programs and did looks for them. But iv never had a prob with wincrap users being lost with ubuntu

>>56111286
Debian with xfce

>>56111659
I am that hipster. But only pre 2000 is worth 150$
Sell it OP, and use the profits towards getting him a little netbook or something with windows

>>56114826
>Win2k (security through obscurity)
There's nothing obscure about NT

>>56111659
>>56115522
Shit's not even worth $30, it's common hardware, nothing exciting.

>peace of shit

>>56111486
wow... just wow.

>>56111486
POSReady 2009

If you don't want to spend a lot of time and money refurbishing, or you just want something with all the pieces, old Thinkpads can be expensive.
Yeah a 770z with no OS, no HDD, dead battery and shit goes for like 20$
A fully working one with all the shit still together and in good shape is 100$+
