The other reason I can think of is price. It's not a question of
whether it's worth it, but what you have to spend. In my case, I have
less than $100 right now. Doesn't matter how fine a machine may be, if
I can't afford it, I won't get one.

Just so happens someone gave me a Compaq Presario 1200 (XL526) --
something I'd never buy, but free is hard to beat. It's running SuSE
8.2 right now.
