:-D

Anything a computer can do. As long as performance is not too much of an 
issue.

Its main attraction to me is that it uses very little power. That, a 
batch of RPi a Chromebook, and an Avoton based Supermicro are my basic 
"infrastructure".

It will go eventually. But I really hate to throw away a perfectly good 
computer. So as long as it works and there are Debian updates for armel, 
I'm good.
