IBM ThinkPad T60

from WinCustomize Forums

So I picked up a IBM ThinkPad T60 for cheap. Old owner tried to put Windows 10 on it, but the poor machine ran very, very slow. It was made for XP. So I need to ask what operating system you guys would use. I have a legit COA on the computer for XP but no one uses that anymore. I don't have a copy of 7. I do have Fedora Linux and Mint Linux. So what OS would you install? It's not my main machine, I have a MacBook for that. It has a Intel Centrino CPU, 2 Ghz, 32 bit, 3 GB of memory, and a 120 GB hard drive. Thanks in advance.

Since in many former posts, you stated you no longer use SD products why would you mention Windows 7 (which you don't have)...what's the problem? Install whichever Linux you like best. It's free. There are enough reviews of each on line.

Unless there was another purpose for this post?

Didn't someone send a W7 disk to kona? I seem to recall something to that effect. You can correct me if I'm wrong.
