Urban legend #6 ! If you are running Linux to replace windows, and want everything on there that you run on windows then yes a 486 will be slow. If you are already running 7.1, then 7.2 should perform pretty much the same. The good thing about linux is, you can run it on a 386 if you really want to. Just don't expect to run every possible service and X-Windows very fast at the same time. -Cheers -Andrew -- MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding! _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
