Much faster than Win2k. I haven't had 95/98 installed on this Libretto ever...my only experience with those was with my old Libretto which I had when the 100ct came out. So, I can't really say about those. I've been running the Link2 graphical web browser ( http://links.twibright.com/) and twm and it's really fast. A minimal install is definitely a good idea, though. 64mb is just not that much memory. Firefox runs, but is slightly slow...I'm used to blazing (P4) internet browsing so I don't use it much. In all, I'd say the setup works really well. Next, I plan to try to play mpeg videos...I'm hoping that with either light compression or just darn small resolutions I'll be able to play movies...
