Mine's battery died so I turned it into a file server.

Why

>>51303296
anything that's not cpu intensive and relatively unattended. i have teamviewer on mine. i just leave it on and remote into it whenever i have to something. it's only a spare pc, so i don't really care if i fuck something up and have to reinstall the os.

I use my tablet more but i had a friend of mine selling his latitude 2120 for $30
I imagine id use it for daily school needs.
I really dont know what to do with a netbook since i can do a lot of my regular usage from my galaxy tab 3 and my phone.

I am generally computer illiterate from the standard /g/ user. Maybe skype, research stuff on my on time?

is it a Lenovo Ideapad S10-3? I have one of those. It's so fucking slow it is unusable for anything other than text entry. For that it's pretty brilliant but I never have any reason to use it over a fullsize laptop.

Toss it, save a hundred bones, buy a Thinkpad X200/X201 instead

I remember running Win7 rather decently. Get Palemoon if browsing is too slow.

It's also a little personal page server, a themanaworld private server and ssh

I wanna do that with my laptop it's an old Windows Vista with a 1.7ghz Celeron M or some shit, really slow. It also has 1gb of RAM. I would like to remove the screen and hdd, and use an OS on a USB should be pretty good. How can I do this?
