like not doing anything, just a spare laptop in case i ever need one, what if i use it years after i installed debian on it?? i would have to update like 300 packages and would take a lot??

    My record is 4 years without update. I had to upgrade every version instead of jumping directly to the latest because I read this is how it is done.

    This worked for Debian flawlessly. Another Laptop with Arch Linux died after updating a 2 years old system.
