Seriously, I'm running new linux releases on old hardware that doesn't
seem to need upgrading.  But there are other things that demand better
hardware.  I like mozilla so much that I went and got more ram so that it
would run better.  My old 486 laptop doesn't have enough disk for
glibc-2.x so it is still at libc-5.  Gnome and KDE require more
disk/memory but the OS (kernel, C libraries - what I consider the OS) run
just as well on new as old hardware.  All my machines run bleeding edge
kernels (except the laptop - I get tired of waiting for the compile to
finish) and recent C libraries, and my newest machines were obtained when
Pentium 233 MHz were the latest in processor technology.
