The Pentium M 1.2GHz and 1.4GHz CPUs found in IBM Thinkpad T40 and T41s.
I have a training room kitted out with these and I was hoping to run
vserver training with them.

ones have 1.2GHz and 1.4GHz CPUs.

I guess it depends on how many people are running 5 year old

I could build a custom kernel myself as well, but I was hoping to be
able to avoid that!
