I ran 3.0 for a long time on it, then 4.0 and I really think 5.0 (once booted) runs a little bit faster than 4.0 (all fresh installs not upgrades). I use icewm. Iceweasel runs good. I don't think a full gnome install would be a lot of fun, but then the harddrive isn't big enough for it so I can't say for sure. I don't create documents on that box, but just to read something, openoffice works reasonably as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
