It happens to all of us, we are cleaning out our attic, garage, or other abandoned place in our house, and you find a super old computer. Whether it is a single core 300 MB Dell laptop, or a ancient IBM desktop, it is a shame to see all of these computers go to waste. In many cases, the only way to get these computers back into working order is by installing a Linux distro with the correct software. So, to get the most out of your old computers, I am going to explain some of the best options for reviving most aging and abandoned computers.
I would add ratpoison to the list of Window Managers (though I guess any simple c based Window Managers will work). It has no fat library dependencies, no fancy graphics and no window decorations.
It has a totally different experience then those other WMs, being prefix key based and manual tiling.

All are great choices even for modern computers.
