... an old desktop. It's an IBM 550mhz PIII with 384mb pc100 ram, a 32mb Nvidia agp2x graphics card, and a 40Gb harddrive. When I picked it out of my companies trash, I did not know if it would run, but I cleaned it up and installed XP on it and it seems to run alright. Now, I don't know what to do with it. Nobody I know wants it as they all have modern computers. I've played around with the idea of loading Linux on it, Ubuntu or Gentoo but even if I did, I still would not know what do do with it. Any ideas for what I could use this for?

I'd throw linux on there, use it as a rig to mess around with and learn linux if you don't already. Once you're up to speed, use it as a router or firewall... or throw some bigger drives in it and use it as a server box. Plenty of uses for rigs like that, if you have a need for anything like that.
