Rather than rely on an unsupported OS version, it makes sense to find a modern distribution that will run on older hardware. Of course, this also requires someone to step up and support it. Whenever someone says that the newer cd doesn't even boot on a system, I always wonder if there isn't a fixable reason for that. From what I have seen, a driver build usually fixes the problem. And the slowness can be fixed too. On the current proposal, I feel the developer community has been very accommodating to people running older versions, but there has to be a limit. There are a lot of things I would rather see than legacy support.
