Why do people still think that taking an antique computer and adding Linux is such an amazing thing?
This is a 7 year old laptop - and while someone may have replaced all the batteries with new ones, dismantled it and cleaned the internals with an air duster, and cleaned up the case it's still a diverted piece of e-waste.

You mean proprietary drivers that only work on one or two architectures and seize to be supported when new hardware generations need to be sold.
BitTorrent is great for transferring large files with multiple slow Internet connections.
Seed with each connection, leech with the destination machine.
Impressive if you can do that on the kernel and still be confident of stability.
You can actually do that with Oracle Ksplice for Linux.
