+1 for selling as well . . . you can do/learn almost anything on AWS, Digital
Ocean, etc . . .

Plus depending on the number of racks you have running it will cost more in
electricity each month than the cost of a few VPS accounts.

Take it as an opportunity to learn about linux and use it as a test bed to
upskill yourself, if you're into that sort of thing.

Install a hyper-visor and start playing with VMs, containers etc.

hi,

how old are these systems? servers are only usefull/have significant monetary
value for other companies if age is << 5 años.

if they are not too old: sell them and play with an older standard pc - 64 bit
/ virtualization possible, enough ram.

cheers az

Well, it depends on what you are looking to with it. Do you want to learn
about system administration, software development, networking, ...? It also
depends on where the server is, physically - is it in your home or in some
data center?

If it's system administration, one example that is reasonably useful is
setting up an owncloud server. Or a private mail server. If it is in your
home, setting up a DHCP server and a DNS server can be a fun excercise. In any
case, there are _many_ tutorials and HOWTOs available online. The search
engine of your choice will tell you where. Most major linux distros also come
with pretty good documentation or at least have some online. (Depending on the
circumstances, you might consider reinstalling the system first - without
physical access to the machine, it is not easy, though.)

If you want to learn about software development, there are more things you can
do with a linux server than I can think of. When I try to think of a fun
programming project, I often make the mistake of thinking of the technology
(programming language, libraries/frameworks) first and then choosing a problem
that goes with it. For _learning_ ,
