I just want to congratulate you on making old
versions of Debian Linux available. It is one of my goals, as a software
engineer in the making, to promote using (or re-using) old computers. If
an old Intel 386 can do the job, why throw it in the landfills and poison our
drinking water?
Furthermore, if students and grade or high-schools
can pay less than a few hundred dollars for a whole network that will do the
same job, why pay a hundred thousand dollars for the latest Intel-Microsoft
hype? If humanity is headed towards 'informatization', then this trend should
not increase the divides between the rich and the poor, the healthy and the sick
- it should remove them.
I am presently testing 'potato' on an intel 486, 60
Mhz with 20 meg RAM and 520 meg Hard Drive. My aim is to make it
office-serving and desireable to musicians.
Thanks for the service!
