What is a usb router?  usb hub?  Are you going to have a lot of usb
devices on any of the machine?

I guess cd burners will go in machines fast enough to run them.

I like my old hardware (even if some of it is currently collecting dust
(until I finish painting the house and such)) and I doubt it would be

are just too odd for most people, although most of them run Debian just
