Your arguments fit perfect as a demostration of my key point that an OS
installation is neither a money nor "I-want-a-bigger-room" related
problem but a user attitude.
I wonder what would you do should you have to live the 365 days of the
year with no Internet connection (like many newbie linux -Debian- users
in the world do) or simply with a dial-up line from where to send/receive
e-mails no larger that 3 MiB and no web browsing at all.
This people can tell you what are *real* limitations yet still they are
interested in having Debian systems installed, up and running. That's an
enviable attitude.
