Sounds like a good way to make use of old eMachines, at a large discount too.

Finally, the year of the Linux Desktop! (eMachine edition)

runs great on older less powerful hardware

better hardware support, not having to hunt down drivers

I remember installing Linux on my old laptop. It took me half a day to find working drivers for my WiFi card. It's probably better now but whenever I read stuff like this I call bullshit.

The only wifi that doesn't work out of the box these days is broadcom cards.

For some reason MediaTek hadn't released a Linux driver for their popular MT7902. Really annoying. Please sign this petition: https://www.change.org/p/mediatek-should-provide-a-linux-driver-for-mt7902
