Got these old laptops out of storage. What should I do with them? They’re too old for Gentoo.

That's blatantly false.

>They’re too old for Gentoo.
doubt it, what's the model/specs of these laptops?

(and no, they arent too old for gentoo, where did you get that fake info)
James Thomas
You should clean the LITERAL SHIT off of them
Jaxon Davis
Not only is it blatantly false that they're too old for gentoo, but the left looks like either a MacBook1,1 or Macbook2,1 and those can run freaking libreboot.
Cameron Sullivan
one is a 32 bit intel atom with 1GB RAM
the white one is a macbook with core 2 duo and 2gb ram.
Gentoo would take days to compile on them and they can’t hold a battery charge.
Jow Forums removes the rotation tag from the exif data
Ethan Thompson
Put Windows XP on them
Christian Hall
They have Windows 7/mountain lion. Already have an xp system to use.

The MacBook could be a decent machine if you stuck an SSD and some more RAM in it (yes this is back when you could actually do that relatively easily)... and CLEANED IT THE FUCK UP
Nicholas Baker
also installed some normie distro like crunchbang ++ or noobuntu
Jeremiah Johnson
dedicated reactos system maybe? could use mac as a thin client, i guess. i'd install gentoo regardless.

>Gentoo would take days to compile on them and they can’t hold a battery charge.
No, Gentoo would not take days. I run Gentoo on a single core PowerBook G4, you are wrong.
Christopher Adams
Move them out of Australia.
Connor Ross
Well clean them for starters.
I mean Jesus Christ, it looks like they've been used as cum rags.

For the MacBook. That’s the same MacBook I’ve got
Ryan Wilson
i bet that'll run great
Zzzz...
Ethan Edwards
Clean them and install Lubuntu on them
It will run well + lots of programs available
Joshua Watson
Yeah clean them

Is that the right kind of Macbook to install Libreboot on? I heard it's a not fantastic experience on Macbooks compared to Thinkpads, but it's better than nothing.
Matthew Stewart
Then don't install Gentoo. Install something like Arch or some other minimal distro that don't need autistic compilation and built a lightweight computer for simple tasks.
Liam Evans
Clean up the MacBook and install Libreboot. If it's a 2,1 model (that's what it looks like from the image) then you can flash Libreboot internally by running a program from Linux called flashrom that'll reflash your EFI chip. There's no disassembly required. Then you can install Debian or Trisquel with IceWM or something light and have a perfectly usable machine for basic tasks.
Chase Allen
For your information people have successfully installed Gentoo on a 486 system. Technically you could probably even do it on a 386 since Linux is compatible with those. So no, these aren't too old for anything.
