Nope...you are correct and this fact leaves me wondering how in the world I can filter duplicate messages with Kmail filtering technology. How about it MandrakeSoft? Any ideas?

Re: [Re: [newbie] Fast CPU]
I did the same thing. I started with KDE because I could understand it with my leaving-windows-mentality. Eventually I started playing around with the different window managers looking for something that was faster, used less resources, was more customizable and pleased my aesthetic sense more directly. Blackbox just didn't groove wiht me but the nexty look and feel of windowmaker totally made me happy.

I think Redhat 'supports' it, but Caldera and Mandrake haven't jumped on to the bandwagon. What this 'support' means is that the installation will recognize the CPU as a Pentium 4, and install accordingly. I have yet to install Linux on my G4 400MHz tower yet (I know, it's only single CPU), but based on my reading, I am aware that you will need a Linux distribution that will really take real advantage of SMP.

However, after a while, I started to notice it did take up some resources that could have been put to better use (and this was while I still only had 64 meg RAM).
