Seems reasonable. I used to have a dual P-100 with RH 6.2 and a P-120 with Win98 and VNC plus Samba plus a 10 Mb/s LAN home network. It was a pleasant experience. VNC even worked on a 28 K phone modem. Now I have a dual boot XP Pro SP2 and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Ubuntu setup is still incomplete. PC is 2.4 GHz P4 + 512 MB RAM. Have been playing for long with multiplatform software for Windows. I mean Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, Abiword...It is good, because it gives about the same feel on Linux or Windows. Forgot Opera....
