Damn, it should be pretty fast on that. Then again, I preferred the Irix GUI which was alot more userfriendly and refined than GNOME. I'd say that 1280x1024 is pushing it a wee bit considering the last time I used an Blade 100 was on a machine with a 17inch screen running at 1024x768 Matthew _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
