You are also right that I am primarily intrigued that some variety of Linux

approaching zero as a limit in fact). High reliability on a wide variety of
hardware and ease of use and deployment are also important, of course.
This may be common knowledge to most, but I was unable to load Fedora
Core 1 onto a Pentium II 200 when the software announced that the
processor was not up to the task. This same computer has been running
Win2k for 4 years doing normal office and Internet tasks.
