<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello comrades,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have to say, I've done a little fiddling around
with Debian/RH4.? some time ago</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>out of curiousity on my lowly 386s and 486s and now
I've purchased [on a sale at Carousel] a copy of </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>SUSE 6.2 [probably a little dated by now] just to see how</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it runs [after all I've heard quite a bit about the
performance of Linux on leaner</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PCs] on my P100 with 16Megs RAM. I'm aware
that Linux itself is fast but the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>GUI is a resource hog so I'm probably gonna get my
fingers dirty to get to learn</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>some Linux. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have
two beefier PCs running windoze 2k and 98 and since I'm don't want to
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>mess up my HDs I'd better install SUSE on a
separate machine just in case </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>something could go
wrong. Could someone tell me whether this P100 with</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>16Megs RAM is enuff for GUI/X stuff without
significant HD thrashing in the virtual</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>memory ? I want to start getting into Linux
with mininal risk.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance.</FONT></DIV>
