I wonder about installation time :) anyway

QuoteThe ethernet-card is more stable, it is PCI but runs still with 8 MHz, so you can access the internet without a problem. Of course you need time, the homepage is availible after 10 minutes.

QuoteThe boottime of this system is extremly long, 30 minutes! After 13 minutes you can see the first icons, but there are 17 minutes more, where you can do nothing, before you can start "working".

Of course the cpu is alltime at 100% all the time, there is no real idle mode:
