Linux Computer

I wanted to bring Sarah's old laptop to Florida so I could have a Linux computer but I decided it would be too many computers with Barb's computer, my Windows computer and my Work computer.  So I was happy when Barb's friend asked if we would like her old laptop now that her mother had bought her a new computer.  Barb told her friend that we would like it because Ivan collects old computers.  So Barb brought home the laptop from pickleball and I was impressed that the old computer was better than my computer.  I wiped the drive of her friend's stuff and installed Linux.  Every time I started up the computer, I got a message saying System Error.  The computer seemed to work okay but I was worried about the System Error.  So I installed Linux again.  Then I tried a different distribution of Linux but that distribution didn't recognize the wireless chip and I didn't want to fuss with installing the driver for it.  So I decided I could live with the message about the System Error.  Now I have the Linux computer in my office and my Windows computer in the living room where I can work on it while Barb watches television in the evenings.
