Now, you're twisting everything to fit a twisted view. Software is changed much more often than hardware. I'm using linux-2.6.9 with glibc-2.3.4-20040828 on a p3-600 with 384Mio RAM. It's my main computer. I also got linux-2.6.9 on my 5 other computers (down to 300MHz). I'm not buying a new computer before I can buy a GPU that is supported with libre software drivers. (unless I get my friends old computers). -- Esben Stien is [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.esben-stien.name irc://irc.esben-stien.name/%23contact [sip|iax]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
