So I'm moving across town, and once again I find myself faced with the problem of figuring out what to do with my old computers. I have two (perhaps three) functional desktop computers sitting around collecting dust. I don't know the exact specs off the top of my head, but one started with Win98, then was upgraded to Me and later XP. I believe the other one could do the same if I could/wanted to buy a license (it's currently running 98.) So they're not terribly old, just not very new either. I expect they'd run just fine under most versions of Linux.
Assuming that my current computers work just fine, do y'all have any suggestions for how to use these computers? I don't know much about servers, but I'm willing to learn. I wouldn't know what to serve, though; I'm not interesting enough to warrant my own website or anything like that. What else, then? Grid computing? Donate to a school or youth club? Onto the recycling pile?
