I tried a 486DX-100 16 MB Ram and a PCI bus about six months ago I run OpenOffice on my server. I don't remember any problems with it, but I will dust it off and see if I can duplicate your problems. The secret to using old computers is to invest in a decent Video Card. If your 486 has an old ISA bus you are out of luck as this will always be slow. PCI or VESA local bus at a pinch. I have tried both, PCI is the winner, which is what you would expect. In Australia I can buy a decent PCI card for $60 which is about $30 US _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
