I have both the download edition and the powerpack, no difference in speed
in either that I can tell, which makes sense since its the same base rpm
packages being installed.

I am running 8.1 on many different systems..

one has only 32MB of ram, and the cpu's I have running are:

166mmx,  (dns server n stuff)
200mmx   (firewall/samba)
233mmx   (firewall/samba/postfix)
Ppro200  (firewall/samba/postfix/http)
Celery450 (testing)
Athlon1000 t'bird (firewall/samba/postfix/http)
Athlon1800XP (firewall/samba/postfix/http)

working great on all of them, my home samba server/firewall/mailserver is
only a 233MMX with 160MB ram, and it runs great, GUI and all, (I use icewm
mostly, but KDE works ok too.)

i think there was a problem with the download edition, I have downloaded it
3
times for 3 different computers, on each computer is was slooow and very
unstable ( i was lucky to have a 1 day uptime ).  I think we should take a
vote to figure out what is wrong, Tell me if 8.1 is giving you problems or
working great and was it the download edition, powerpack, gaming, etc?
