I managed to install Debian on an old micro system, e.g. 486 cpu, 50 MHz, 8 or 16 MB RAM, 850 MB disk, no CDrom. In other words: there is GNU/Linux life for old hardware. Stable means stable, even though some may prefer the term ``outdated''. I can do all configuration with vi. Easy for me. YMMV. I'm very impressed by the Debian effort.
