Don't throw your old computer! You can revive it with this great distribution! it runs smoothly on older hardware, and works almost flawlessly as it's supposed to (despite being in Beta under heavy development). Including lots of retro consoles emulators will satisfy most tastes. I just wish they could include more modern emulators like ones for the ps2/ps3.
