   I agree.  I am a big fan of Slackware Linux (I use it for my BBS and on my   
   personal machine) and am waiting for the maintainers of the S/ARM to compile   
   it on the RPi 3.  When that happens, I'm seriously considering putting the   
   BBS on a RPi 3 with the BBS itself running off of a little WD 500GB external   
   "pocket" USB hard drive.  Talk about almost no power consumption.   
      
   Technology can be really neat at times.
