(Micro)wattOS: A linux distro with i3

       Whenever I either update or upgrade my 12 year-old laptop *aelita*
       (See: http://chals.sdfeu.org/profile/#naming_convention) I get in
       trouble. The system usually breaks for some reason. It's been the
       case for some years so it was no surprise.
       
       This time I upgraded from jessie to stretch and the cpu was 
       constantly between 80% and 100% the system ran so slowly that it was 
       barely usable.
       
       I came across wattOS --> http://planetwatt.com/new/ A linux distro
       based on Ubuntu which releases a micro edition called microwatt which
       features i3 as default window manager. The download page is at:
       
 (HTM) microwatt
       
       I tried the live cd and it worked great so I decided to install it. 
       On a side note, it also works great on my eeepc 701 which is awesome.
       So I guess I will end up installing it on the eeepc too.
       
       I have been a debian user for many years now and also of the i3 wm.
       I usually installed the debian base system plus an x-server and i3.
       I know the drill by heart, I have done it on a dozen occasions, but 
       this time I couln't resist the easiness at hands reach.
       
       The version I installed is R10. It was released almost a year ago: 
       http://planetwatt.com/new/index.php/2016/09/01/wattos-r10-released/
       but it is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS which means support until 2021.
       What else can I ask for?
