Re: [Trisquel-users] Cheap servers to buy?

I can't comment on the idea that old hardware is more likely to work with  
free system than old hardware. In any case, I recommend you to do your best  
to determine whether a computer will work well in a fully free system before  
purchasing it; I recently wrote a short message about that (the whole thread  
is about hardware support of free software).

Bear in mind that the latest gNewSense release is very old. gNewSense 3  
(released in 2011) is based on Debian 6 Squeeze (released in 2011). If it  
doesn't work with some hardware, maybe a newer release or more recent fully  
free distribution will work.
