Did you read the post below in the other thread. the part which says: In any case, I'm running Damn Small Linux on a 166MHz HP Vectra VL/5 PC with 48M RAM and a 2GB HD. I resurrected it as a "media PC" (ok, really only audio) from some junk my brother salvaged from the trash when an office recapped their HW, ages ago. It boots pretty quick (after installing to the HD) and plays internet radio well (via an old Sound Blaster card). The box had Win 95 on it when I started -- there was no chance in hell it would run XP.?
Try doing something like that with *ANY* Windblows version or, yes Maccies - I am talking about you guys, with any Apple product (since Mac OSs cannot run (yet) on x86, I mean using 1995 old harware and run, say, Mac OSX or even MacOS9 on it).
Or better: TRY IT YOURSELF and see if you are really bullsh*tting you about what GNU/Linux can, or cannot, do...
