From one of those descriptions: Legend has it that some guy in Oklahoma
went psycho after trying to work with 4.1.0 for 25 straight days.
I did not find many particulars about slow graphics but I think that
that might have been normal at that time. My first real computer was a
K7S5A with an AMD Duron 1200 and 512MB of RAM
I used to use twm with nothing particularly flash or heavy on the old
machine, and it was fine most of the time.
Gnome, KDE and Flash work but you have to be patient. ;)
Happy Hacking,
