New 'low requirements' Linux OS

Hi all

If you have an older PC lying around and want to make use of it (maybe for some BOINC crunching) then this might suit:

Elive Min. Requirements: 192 Mb RAM, 500 Mhz CPU, 32-bit, non-UEFI, sysinit, PAE (bigmem) kernel + 486 kernel

A free download is available:

https://www.elivecd.org/download/stable/

An email is sent to you with a link, which is delayed (one assumes to minimise bandwidth) or you can make a donation and download it sooner.

Might give this a whirl on a couple of older PC's that arent doing much !!

regards
Tim
