Oh boy... Don't expect a delivery date anytime soon, OK?  ;-)

On the other hand, I may have a bit of time for this, so...
And I have to add a few things here and there on SlackDocs...

This being said, I have Slackware 13.0 running on a Compaq 615,
and it also works very well. The computer itself is a workhorse,
slow by modern standards, very heavy compared to the eeePC, but
very nice to use under Slackware.
