Sounds like a good way to make use of old eMachines, at a large discount too.

Finally, the year of the Linux Desktop! (eMachine edition)

    This is exactly how I got into Linux .

    Had some… Life troubles.

    Started over.

    Needed computer.

    Local community employment/outreach/social support place had a volunteer run computer place in the basement (they also had a bike place, and a cafe or two, and some apartments, and they were the best community org ever…).

    100$

    I bought 2 over a couple years.

    I’m pretty sure they had xubuntu.

    Over 10 years later I still have both. And I just put mint 23xfce on one and use it as my living room media player - dvi to HDMI projector.

    I have no need for a lot of stuff. I make work what I can. And I keep it working as long as I can however I can.
