Did any of you switching from win95 to linux notice an increase in modem
(downloading) preformance?
I did just the opposite for the beginning of school. I needed win 95 to
run Corel Office. But I noticed my downloads seem to be slower
(21K-24Kbps), but with linux I was up near 30kbps (atleast according to
minicom, or the zmodem).
So if linux does give better performance would you recomend getting
another 486/66 and 2 NIC's, through my modem in the linux box and then I
can run my internet from Win95 at teh better performance.
PS: I am thinking of getting another box just so I can have Linux
anyways.. its cheaper to get another 486 w/ 500mb HD than to go get a new
HD.... So the modem performance isnt my only reason for new (used) box.
