Recently, I got my hands on version 0.2 of Cobind, a Linux lite desktop, based on Red Hat/Fedora Core 1, from a software company in Pittsburgh. Not yet in general release, Cobind is a one disc wonder.

You realize how many people have 'obsolete hardware'? Not everyone has a 3ghz computer with 1gb ram. Many people are still on old computers in the 200-400mhz range. Some seem to forget them, to pretend that they don't matter. They DO matter. And as software bloats and bloats, adds kitchen sinks and whatnots, someone is needed to fill the gap. I'm glad there are distros out there that haven'ts forgotten this. There are also some of us that prefer this streamlined version instead of the many-disk monster of Linux distro X that fills your HD and ram with uneeded crap. If all you ever do is browse a couple sites online, read and send a few emails, why do you NEED anything as fast as current computers? You don't. And thankfully, with software like this, you arent' forced to.
