After thinking about this for a while I'm'a say "good". All three of these distributions target recent hardware, and the full desktops are pretty heavy compared to what counted as a "full desktop" 10 years ago. K6/K6-2 are older than that. If you really, really need to keep hardware that is more than a decade old running then use a source-based distribution like Gentoo, or set up a Debian or Fedora build chain targeting that hardware. But realistically speaking, a $250 investment will get you modern hardware that runs faster, quieter, and with much lower power and cooling demands. Assuming that you're running it 24x7 you'll make that back within 2 years from reduced electric bills. --Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
