LowSpecBox: distros para hardware antigo (1)

Nesta entrada vou deixar links para algumas distros e até para BSDs que são excelentes para brincar/aprender/trabalhar mas que requerem muito poucos recursos de hardware e que por isso são óptimas para instalar em máquinas mais antigas, o ideal são mesmo portáteis antigos, uma das razões para a escolha de portáteis é o seu baixo consumo de energia podendo como tal serem um excelente ponto de partida para um servidor caseiro, router, firewall e como têm hardware wireless até permitem criar um hotspot/rede adhoc/mesh, para além disso sempre ajudamos o planeta.
