> I understand. It is disappointing, and to me (my humble opinion) > counters the claims of Linux being a good choice on more modest hardware. > At least that was always the impression I had. sadly you are not making the best compare here. 8.x with kde is more like the version of windows due out after xp :) seriously, to windows, cpu rules. to linux it is RAM. my wife has a dual box with 2000 and 8.2 and if i remove half her RAM it is the same way, but with the 158 or so she has, 8.2 with kde3 is much faster than 2000. enough so in fact that she now hates 2000. also, nt, 2000, 98 and 95 compare to older mandrake versions. like 7.x, depending. compare nt to 7.1. the point of modest hardware is that it can be made useful, not that it can be made into a powerful machine. a p75 with low RAM makes a great firewall for example, but a poor main computer. linux is wonderful, but it isn't magic. - -- Computers are like air conditioners they stop working properly if you open windows. shane Profile at: http://dmoz.org/profiles/shen.html Proud to be a DMOZ editor since 10-98 Mandrake Users Club Member http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/club/ Registered linux user #101606 @ http://counter.li.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9AjWjBwq+ZwvIN/oRAqUoAJ9izDA9inlWQj9qWTSvHro3qQ2zXQCfZv/I CuFVTgm0pagGkhcf8rMveiw= =gYBX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
