Actually, (and possibly surprisingly) it really doesn't. It can make
use of such capability, but people run it on old hardware too--as it
will use somewhat older software, it probably runs better than Fedora on
lower end hardware.
That being said, I run it primarily on servers, because it's more of a
server O/S--I did, however, put it on a laptop, and actually it was
fine, though I had to manually update the sound drivers (and wireless,
but the card in question requires that with every current non-alpha
distro. The particular card, the Atheros AR5007EG won't be supported
till kernel 2.6.27).

Spike: Oh, sod the spell. Your friends are in the factory. I'm
really glad I came here, you know? I've been all wrongheaded
about this. weepin', crawlin', blamin' everybody else. I want
Dru back. I've just gotta be the man I was, The man She loved.
I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place-- I'll
find here, wherever she is, tie her up, torture her until she
likes me again.
