That sounds quite reasonable, but you are then working with an old
system.  What I really dream of is a system which is kept current,
updated but not bloated.  I mean, I don't want great, fancy features
but a system which is not 5 or more years old, but current.

Sorry, english is not my native tongue and I'm not sure I really
express what I mean.

*Old*, that's it.  I'd like to run a current system on, let say, a 386
with 16MB and 420MB HDD or something like that.
