This is rather interesting. I didn't know that java is available on mips. Are you referring to java (sun, gcj, other?) or javascript? I think even flash is not avaiable (the libflash is not enough developed to be used widely). But: is gnome or openoffice usable? Did you try lenny? Did you try, by any chance, the standard Debian kernel from etch, lenny, sid? Moreover I read that the machine is provided with 256Mb of RAM. It should be possible to use 512Mb of RAM changing the kernel from mipsel/32bit to mipsel/64bit. Is this correct? Do you use it with 1Gb RAM? > Well fulong is ok for me, i seldom use x86 now, but you can't compare a > 666M cpu to modern intel/amd x86 cpu, right? :) Right. I read it is comparable to a pentium4 @ 1.4Ghz. Currently I use powerpc @864Mhz, so I think I will gain some speed :-) Thanks for all your info.
