If we want to show that you don't need to have tomorrow's hardware to
run on, I've got a 486 or two sat in a cupboard we can set up a small
distro on.
Might be specially useful to point out that these old machines will do
a perfectly good job as firewall/NAT boxes for a broadband connection.

I might even get round to trying to get one of the old laptops I've
got working
