My friend is giving me an older computer he has had in his basement or something. Im not exactly sure how old it is, but im guessing somewhere between a 1999-2005 model. I dont think he has cleaned his hard drive..
I deciding between cleaning the hard drive (if someone could tell me how that would be great, i dont care about anything on it i just want it all gone) and installing linux because its free (if someone could help tell me how i can get linux burned on a CD or what ever and put on that comp that would be great) and just using it for what ever.
Or i will just take it apart and look around in it to get a good idea about putting computers together because i want to build one some day.
Im also considering taking parts out and buying newer parts and putting them in to maybe increase the proformance, but i dont know if i can even do that.
Anyone have advice/suggestions?
If i posted this in the wrong place please tell me im new.
