Hi I have an old Pentium-1, which I like to configure as a router for a home network, with a minimal amount of user applications for system maintenance only. All my other production machines at work and home have much newer hardware, so I don't take risks and run 4-stable. When I read about problems with early adoption of 5.X, I mainly encounter risks related to extremely large RAM, multi processors, or very new hardware. My simple and old Pentium-1 PC may therefore a very low risk system for installing 5-Current. Is that right? Or am making a big mistake here? Thanks, Rob.
