linux distro

[mike havens]

I don't need current hardware... this computer is circa. 93 (about) . This
is why linux rules.... to run an up-to date distro you don't need current
hardware. It is not like M$ where xp hardware won't run on vista os; and xp
won't run on earlier hardware; etc. I think M$ in in cahoots with hardware
manufacturers!
