Who's installing SUSE on Pentium I nowadays?
I do (p233) and it's a sub-laptop, I have no other such machine at hand
(and even as second hand it's much too expensive)
of course, I can stay with older version...
what is the real gain? size? speed? and of how much?
there are so many various processors with so many special instruction
sets...

I couldn't see any noticeable difference in speed with gentoo built for
athlon as opposed to 10.2Alpha4 on the same box, perhaps with suitable
measurements, there may have been a speed increase. On the P-II/333/96M+
2M video under 10.1Alpha3 back in the days, KDE made the box almost
unuseable, even a small movement of the mouse took ages to settle so I
could do something else, with a lighter window manager, it was quite
responsive. With Kubuntu 6.06, it's very useable, none of the lag seen
in 10.1Alpha.
It's been a long time since I've seen any distro benchmarks.

Sid.
