It's nice actually to have a distro that is lean and mean targeted for older computers. Can u imagine if we run it on newer computers ? but it is optimized for newer CPUs. That's where Mandrake excels . Yeah, I have installed MDK on older computers without any problem--I just use the text mode install and skip KDE and Gnome; I wish there were more options besides IceWM for a low-spec machine on install in Mdk, like one of the boxes (flux|black|open...), or better yet pekwm (that was just to see if Joe is paying attention ;)). Course when Gnome 2.6 comes out in Mdk 10.1, I might install it. So far, though, I'm lovin' Slackware, but I have a lot more to learn. And I say these good things about Gnome coming from a long history of despising it; however, it's really come together nicely.

It is *very* nice. Running on an old machine, it's nice and zippy. It does take a little to load--not as fast as XFce4 or others, but once it's going--sweet. That's on a 266MHz with 64MB RAM.
