Figured as much.  One of my old PCs that's being kept as a 'maybe 
project' is IIRC an old Celeron running MS-Vista that has a small SSD 
for its boot drive which could make for a Linux boxen for something. I'd 
be thinking more 'file server' though, although I'd have to check to see 
if it is even new enough to be SATA, and if so, how many bays it has to 
stuff with old small hard drives to waste some electricity on.

I've not gotten to it because I already have two Linux boxens doing 
that, so do I really need a third one?
