If I can get a Linux distro to boot into a shell on it, I can do work on it. It'll probably be nicer than vim over ssh still. The first version of the rPI was pretty close in specs to computers from that time and it works fine - though the G3 mac shipped with way less RAM by default. The first gen rPI on my desk even boots into a usable desktop. There's a lot of bloat in modern software, such as browsers, but most is in the form of code/features that are rarely used. Maybe someday we'll see electron versions that can be stripped to stuff you actually need.
