Absolutely this. I'll add that there is a certain kind of joy (to me at least) to see an old machine spring back to life and become useful again.

I heartily agree. I have an old Asus netbook (castoff from a family member who switched to computing nearly exclusively on her smartphone; the machine originally ran MeeGo Linux on a 8GB internal disk) that runs Debian stable, slowly, but I've been wondering if one of the BSDs might be slightly faster. I'm thinking of making it a kitchen computer primarily to serve as a recipe database.
