Re: Great for revitalising old netbooks!

Many "x32" builds wont work on the elderly chips in the eeepc series. The 486-grade chips in these things are missing some modern instructions. Certainly today's Debian won't play.

Kids had 701s when they were small. My maxed-out one gathers dust due to the lack of a recent OS.
