A 500 MHz processor speed should be fine. I didn't think anyone used 32
Megs of Ram anymore. :) In my view, 32 isn't enough for Windoze, Linux or
anything else. I went from 64 to 128 recently and it was a large difference
in speed. Do yourself a favor and get more memory. Regardless of what OS
you're using you'll find it a good investment.
Netscape is Netscape and they all look the same in a sense. You may have
just clicked on a link and brought up the internal browser in KDE.
