What they have repeatedly stated and for some (first world, perhaps?) reason you refuse to acknowledge, is that you can't trade future power use for a new computer; you have to pay up front, it's a sort of investment, that not everyone is affluent enough to make. Not every person or institution can afford to get a new Phenom or Xeon or whatever every year, or even every X years. What exactly do you suggest these people do? Get LFS, Gentoo or Arch and clear all incompatible flags? Or should they apply for a loan to their bank, detailing the ROI from reduced power usage?
i would suggest NOT use a fast moving distribution like Fedora for such antique hardware
why do you ask again when i statet *more than once* that i have zero understaind for combine more than 10 years old hardware with a bleeding-edge distribution and then demand the bleeding-edge distribution to support that hardware the next 20 years instead move forward
