BL3 is great I believe, even for more powerful desktops .Mine's a pentium
II, 5 years old - not brilliant, but will happily run other linux variants.
But I love BL because
a) It loads very quick - about 10 sec from power on to surfing - much better
than any other OS
b) It is simple.  I can easily understand how it works - makes a great
springboard for learning about how the OS works.

I like to have my PC switched off when I am not using it, so boot time
really matters to me.  If I want to do other things, I may well boot into
debian, beos or windows - but BL3 is a good quick tool for 90% of what I
want to do.


Keep up the good work, Steven!
