Dude, that's Just Wrong. My old Sharp 486 with 24M takes about 2
minutes to boot, and with a 256K WD graphics adapter, will *still* run
Mozilla if I'm gentle (BIG swap partition). It only takes 3-4 minutes
to come up.
Here's a big tip, though, if you're seriously graphically challenged -
Don't run *anything* but the GUI app. On that 486 I have a user "net"
with a one-line ~/.xinitrc file:
exec mozilla
I have Moz configured to open tabs, no new windows, and to run
full-screen. No window manager, no xterms, no nothing but a browser.
It's raw, but it works. Slowly.
