I've been running gentoo on my crappy ole Trogon P2-333 128MB RAM for about a year now.. it took about 3 days to compile the system, but it runs it really well, better than any other distro i've tried on it (redhat, slak).. sure KDE/X is a bit of a memory hog, but even with 128MB it runs smooth enough for me... I'm gentoo for life - --Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+3g0SzK7WDkEewTARAqa+AJ4jan55OHR6x5WjTnxl7k6e94deBwCgils0 3MdIDdif8vyfFPfZp4cRI74= =0Nbr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
