I usually run my desktop machine under X (usually GNOME). I use Staroffice,
Netscape xnews etc and it is much faster than a higher spec NT box with the
same memory (128Mb) and a larger processor.
I have been involved in testing a linux box running mySql & Oracle on a
linux box and its performance is faster than NT - sometimes by a small
amount - sometimes more.
When I get time - I plan to test Cf on the linux box - should be
interesting!

In character mode or in X? I find that (obviously) Linux is much faster
when not running a GUI, but X performance has always been poor to
atrocious...
