As Workststion?
Installing Bo (1.3) and you have an F-1.
With Hamm (2.0) or Slink (2.1) it will be fast as the hell.
With Potato (2.2) you will get a bunch of new Software running nice.
With Woody (3.0) you will get the first killer, but it works.
And now with Sarge (3.1) or later Etch (4.0) you will shoot yourself.
