So far this series has checked out Lindows 4.0, Libranet 2.8.1 and MEPIS 2003.10. Meanwhile both Lindows.com and Xandros have been busy little beavers and spat out new versions of their software, each on the same day. Since I am trying to find the best bang for my buck in a Debian based commercial distro, and since I am already a registered user of LindowsOS, I felt compelled to download a free copy of Lindows 4.5 to have a second look at this thing.

No, outdated hardware is the Pentium-MMX 200 sitting at the foot of my desk happily serving files. No-longer-cutting-edge-but-not-ancient is what the author is talk about. And he's quite right. I've done technical work for a number of small businesses, and they all fall into that category is slightly aged computers that ought to be well within the realm of being supported. I mean, we tell people not to use cutting-edge hardware cause it won't be in the kernel yet. Are we now telling them not to use matured harware?
There is no excusable reason for an OS that promotes itself as being for the common user not to support 3 year old mainstream hardware. An average home/SOHO user might upgrade their computer every 5 years or so, and even then they're probably not buying the newest models and features.
