It is moving but slowly. Not abandoned, but still an alpha testing version.

I will probably 'upgrade' to Debian, Fedora, Gentoo or Minix. I certainly will not use any version of Windows higher than XP. And I will probably use the same laptop ten years later, even if I have to perform 'surgery' on it to replace failing parts.
Best wishes.
