Hi folks,
Here's the situation: I was just given an otherwise fully functional laptop with a broken LCD. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 and have it set up so I can VNC into it. It's now sitting on a shelf doing nothing.
I am ready to entertain any and all suggestions for what I can do with this machine. I already have three other computers serving various functions, so I can't really think of anything practical to use it for. It's a 2GHz Pentium dual core with 3GB RAM and an 80GB hard drive. I installed Ubuntu on it because I wanted to learn a little bit about Linux. So I would really appreciate it if someone could suggest something fun and educational I could try with this computer.
Thanks!
