Spare Rigs
Hi Guys,
I have a spare rig kicking around which Im not to sure what to do with. Im thinking I may set it up as a backgound server and back stuff up, set up a folding client. Another thought was to set up linux on it and try and learn a bit about that OS. I have no linux experience and I am quite interested by it but im not sure what I would use linux for? I am also considering a spot of OCing but i think I will use my main rig for that as it has a better case power supply and memory and would make a more stable platform.
What does everyone else use any spare rigs they have kicking round for?

thanks for the idea rich.
Have a file server somewhere hidden out of the way and build a small barebone system to sit in my living room next to the TV. This can look pretty and act as a interface between TV, HI Fi and file Server. Wireless Mouse and keyboard and Robert is your fathers brother!
I have looked a bit at the different distributions and I am game for a challenge but gentoo seems to be more based as a programming environment... still not completely put off but I have no Unix experience and im not sure if my project may be a bit advance for a novice???
thats just what i use, i'm no linux expert so im not really sure what's best for beginners or whether i should even be using Sabayon, but it has free fps games, looks great and does everything but play my high end games
