Thanks for making these available!  I hope we get more opportunities for
us to get perfectly good computers before they enter the landfill as toxic
waste (lead, gallium, arsenic...)

These fine young boxen will start new rewarding careers as maintenance
free internet/mail appliances for friends and family who constantly get
bombed by viruses and other disasters.  I figure people will be more
productive with something that just works without configuring: just plug
it into the ethernet (cablemodem) and turn it on like a light
bulb...should last for years based on my experience.

I believe the famous I-opener hack-a-thon years ago started many great
distributions specifically designed for basic internet communications.
This is going to be great...
