Because windoze-wannabee distros do not run well (or at all) 
on my hardware.

I am "into" old computers because I own several old computers.

Not necessarily.  It is certainly true that the "new" internet
carries a lot of bandwidth-clogging ephemera, but there is also
a lot of useful stuff there that works just fine on an old PC 
with a dial-up connection.  Just because my computer was made
in 1995 doesn't mean I have to use a 1995 modem and run 1995
applications.
