[ARMedslack] Thinking about changing Slackware ARM to armv5t baseline

Heh. It's called "ARMedslack" or "Slackware ARM".  Every time I see
"Armed" I get images of men in balaclavas committing a bank robbery ;-)

Yes 32MB will work for minimal services like dhcp, dns and stuff like
that, but IME not much else!

I'm not yet sure of what performance increase there would be.  I've read
a bit about this but haven't come across any figures yet.
I'll keep having a look around.
