yes, it's still valid, and not only that, i have everything up and running now!
the only part that i don't like about it is that i have to download a lot
of the standard tools and install them manually. it's really easy, of
course, it's just taking a lot of download time! :)
thanks to everyone who helped, my laptop is now useful again!
best,
peter
