I installed MDK 9.0 and MDK 8.2 on a P233 with 64 MB RAM and have booted Knoppix 3.1 on it and I am happy to say it runs KDE3 and OpenOffice great in just 64MB RAM. I have been playing with it some and it seams to run faster then both versions of Mandrake that are on the hard drives. I know that the system will run faster from RAM then from the hard drive but could it be that a full graphical Linux desktop may actually run faster in only 64 MB of RAM? I would think that a system with a lot of RAM could do this but not in just 64 MB.
Has anyone else found that it runs faster on a system with limited amount of RAM? Could this be a Debian advantage? If I installed Knoppix to the hard drive would I find it running faster then Mandrake?
Linux and Open Source projects never fail to astonish me.
