 It used to seem that Linux ran better on newer systems, now all of my older
 systems install it without a hitch.  :)

 I've grumbled about wanting a system that doesn't lend itself to too
 much eye candy and temptation to customize it. I think that NetBSD with
 a decent old-school WM might be just the thing.   :)

 Except, work is pulling me into MicrosoftLand(tm). I'm now running M365
 for 300 users, running 50 or so servers in Azure... Maybe going all
 linux at home would be just the thing for defining boundaries between
 work and play?   :)
