Please explain how I can get a similar system, running on a similar amount of power, and with no moving parts (i.e., no fans) using, even a P-II.
Hey! Where did you get that from?I'd love to have one of those ( specially if they came in a 19" 1U form factor or similar !!! )
There are many uses for Debian other than your GNOME or KDE desktop.
Surely. This is why i proposed keeping everything compiled for 486 or higher -- that's where the upstream split is, too ... ( we would then need just an small subset of the packages recompiled for i386's libstdc++ ABI )
