Browsing is slow but not that unusable. firefox-esr is in the repos; I prefer palemoon but I'll take what I can get. Gnumeric is faster than LO; both are in the repos. The Broadcom blobs for that Gateway machine are sadly out of date, so I yanked the wifi module out entirely; ethernet works fine, though in most cases I use it landlocked. The editor I prefer (jstar) is TUI, so I mostly work out of xterms.

Use-cases? Remote and while-you-wait work, RS232 and ethernet test console. It's bigger than a netbook but it's what I've got, so I lug it around.
