Yeah, and you don't have to worry about those pesky extra software
packages like ssh, tcsh, ghostscript, etc.  Much more relaxing...

Actually, I'll bet if you go back to B14 you'll have the most relaxing
experience of all.  It's probably tiny and not all that much ran on it.
There are no worries about software that doesn't work the way you expect
since the software just doesn't run at all and that *is* what you'd
expect.
