Debian and its clones My basement is like a mortuary with the remains of computers all lying in state, waiting and hoping for a new lease on life. But what is there to do with the K6s, the Celerons, and Pentiums of the past. It seems nothing short of a miracle would bring these ghosts back to life.

Interesting article...

I'd just like to mention that sylpheed-gtk2 is a better choice for email on older machines running XFCE, IMHO. It is easy to use and signifcantly lighter than Thunderbird. It doesn't include any RSS functionality, but in all fairness I believe that's fairly niche and there are other options available for that. Give sylpheed-gtk2 a try, I believe it's in the Debian repositories.

Good article. ;)
