Hello!
I'm working as a developer and needs a stable environment to develop
and test deployments in. So I want to switch from Windows.
just 2 more cents
i have mdk8 on a PI / 150MHz and it doesn't run as slow as some of the reports i have
seen here. it isn't fast by any means, but considering the speed of that system (and
it's age) i'm happy with the performance.

Well if you're judging based on netscape, then you're in for a

I think it in the way that X handles video..
there's a generic video library called XsvgaLib, which is generic but slow.
