Default Oh the pain.
Currently repurposing a laptop, one Sony PCG-SRX51P/A yes even the name is a pain in the ****.

Windows is out, I don't have a copy on CD. Ubuntu is installing but it's painfully slow with 256MB to play with. It's a decade old I think, I wouldn't bother if it wasn't pristine.

Am I completely wasting my time? I know if it was a mac it'd be worth something.
