for being honest -  
actually I just wanted to put the SSD from a Medion AMD 64 bit machine into an old and weak Acer NetBook with a weak equipment....  
On the SSD was still the 3.8.8\_amd64 installed.  
After I build the SSD in, I was curious what it will do with this system - and .....

Running fully operational out of the box

( I thought thisone is a 32bit machine, but ...)

Even Firefox ESR is running hot like hell, unbelievably ..

Looks great.  
I love to move a system complete to other hardware and in worst case I need to go back to vanilla kernel to get it booted. And Elive got a great hardware discovery, not only during setup. Makes a lot of hardware changing as simple as it should alawsy be.  
Lately I've done it often with Windows10, too.And it worked 7 of times. But if it breaks, It's nearly impossible to rescue without reinstall.

... but Skype in the Repo? I don't think it will live long, teams will replace it, soon. My opinion, without any source.

Amazing, what you can do with " obsolete" computers, ah ?!? 😉

Yes it does, it takes the word "obsolete" out of the dictionaries :rofl2:  
Imagine if commercial companies knew about this, they could sell a win95 PC for $499 with Elive and no one would know 😉
