Default I just recieved an IBM THINKPAD 380 ED and I need a few suggestions

Okay so a while a go my dad brought me an old IB ThinkPad 380ed (very good condition, looks unused :P)
Well here are the specs.
Spoiler for specs:
Processor Intel Pentium 166 MHz with MMX
Level 1 Cache 16 kB
Level 2 Cache 256kB L2
RAM 16MB + expansion up to 80MB total max
RAM type 64-bit EDO SO-DIMM
Hard Drive type type= 3.0 GB, 13 ms
Hard Drive transfer speed untested (max)
CD-ROM internal, 8-20X
Screen 12.1 inch color, 65536 colors, active TFT, 100:1 contrast
Video Processor NeoMagic MagicGraph128ZV (NM2093), on PCI 2.1 bus
Video RAM 1.125 MB embedded
Video Resolution (LCD) 800x600 16-bit color
Video Resolution (CRT) 1024x768 256 color (max)

I know its not a power house and that it'll never play Crysis but i was wondering if anyone here had a few suggestions on what I should do with this laptop. Like may install a new operating system (linux is okay) or if there any cool apps for DOS that I may be able to use.

well you could just use it for notes or something on notepad or word. of if your into html or wanna learn it get textpad and try it out. could try starcraft or diablo one (i highly doubt they will work very good since they need a 4mb or 8mb vid card, but its worth a try. or just keep it on your shelf as a collector.
