Reusing Old Hardware | Oct 2018
My new HDD started having problems in just 1.5 years.I just salvaged an old HDD from my dad's 9 year old laptop (Dell Vostro) and used it.

This old laptop is what I would go to whenever I was between laptops. It's a C2D, 4GB RAM. I installed debian with i3 and it was good enough for browsing internet, to do random coding stuff, reading PDFs, watching movies (although it would run hot). Also I played a lot of Roller Coaster Tycoon[1] on it. Man, I love RCT!! I just might plug in an SSD in it during the next windfall.

For those wondering i'm assuming it's this repo: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2

It looks like it requires a local copy of the original Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 to work. Why is that?
