Learn from it :) It may be old, but it's still small enough to study and learn from. Oh, and it will still boot and run if you compile it up. I have an old 586 here still running a 2.2.17 kernel. If it ain't broke (and it ain't exposed to the outside world or malicious local users then why upgrade??) -- "Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so." -- Douglas Adams
