Question (question) thinking about getting Linux on old lap top
Hi I have recently got a few laptops for free they all run windows 98 and I like it but it seems that the older the operating system I use the more im able to use it ,so now im thinking that using linux should be fun to learn. The things I read about this linux so far is that it's more on the simple broad side of computing and that it's the opperating system to use if looking to learn or
start from scracth.
