Exactly...either use it as a secondary pc hooked up to an external monitor or sell it for a quick $100 (or whatever) to someone that could use it for the same external monitor functionality.
You could also use it as a simple file server...store lots of your files on it and connect to it over your home network. You could even stream music via iTunes if you install iTunes on both netbooks (like I do..but 1 machine is a desktop).
To make it a simple file server, simply create folders on your hard drive (MSOffice for example of a folder)...then right click on the folder and choose Security...and make it shared...and make it read-only or read/write depending on what you want. Now that machine will share anything you stick in the MSOffice folder. Now, go to your other machine and connect to it over your network. This can be done about 5 different ways depending on the operating system so be sure to get back to use on what OSes you are using. Of course this can be Googled to for a quick 5 minute setup.
