EXACTLY! If you can get a modern (functionality wise) SOHO desktop on
a 5/6 years old machines, it means that you could get the same thing
with something built today much smaller and less power-hungry than a
laptop.... if they only produced them in bulk,that is at a decent
price...

Yet another proof that our approach (do NOT relegate people to older
Linux distros, because they wouldn't do much useful with it) is a
valid one). Regardless, one should note, of which distro is actually
slimmed down.

Richard, may I ask you to prepare a page describing that tape
recorder? Thanks!
