    "Got a dusty old laptop you wish you could use again? Don't want to throw it out? Just run Linux on it!"

    This is total BS, now that every major Linux distro has abandoned its i386/i686/x86 32-bit editions. I can't even find one to put on my Atom Netbook anymore, let alone my early XP era Dell Inspiron tank.

    Especially don't promise such BS with a stock photo of an obvious Commodore PET 4032 with the nameplate taped over to make it look like a generic old PC.
