I commend this. At the same time, you would not use either of those for
a new deployment of any kind, would you? Certainly, you would not
expect any DE to run on them, let alone a modern DE Devuan is likely to
fully support in the foreseeable future.

And, by the way, Steve Litt's scenario of Linux expansion in various
Third World countries using scrounged P4 machines is also cheering,
except for the bit about paying for the rather high amount of
electricity they draw, which makes them a poor deal compared to more
modern machines even if the latter cost more. Unless you own your own
hydroelectric or photovoltaic plant, electricity isn't free.
