Thanks! I think I tried that once when I needed a really lightweight OS for a old laptop that was being picky about what Linux OSs it would run

I’ll take that warning as a vote of confidence in my ability to configure systems for reliability! Honestly if we get to the point that systems are failing for hardware lifespan reasons we’ll have exceeded my expectations and I’ll issue some new ewaste. Fortunately the return policy at the free stuff swap shop is very generous.

Thanks, this is the second rec for cage so I’ll try it out on a spare laptop and see how it goes

Thanks! That seems pretty straightforward!
