Um, the majority of my 100+ desktop Linux users have old hardware: between 500 MHz and 1 GHz CPU's, and between 128 and 512 MB of RAM. But I guess for Linux, that counts as a hotrod system with no barriers -- as opposed to Vista, which requires up to 20 times this amount of PC power to even boot and run, period. > Where is the cool? An OS shouldn't be cool. Ideally, it's the most boring part of your computer apart from the hardware, simply enabling you to get on with whatever you want to do, without getting in your way. You don't want your butler running around like a brainless idiot in a flashy outfit, now do you?
