When I went to senior high back in the early 00s I shared a flat with three friends. None of them had their own computer. I had a spare IBM PC with an old Pentium processor which I lent to one of my room mates. I installed Debian, IceWM and Abiword for her. She had no previous experience with Linux, but with this setup she was able to write her school essays and save them to floppy in order to print them out at school. (We didn’t even have a router in the flat.) It worked really well and was much more stable than Win 98/XP :)
