Further to my comment. Limbo 2 runs great on the GHz Athlon machine
that I am going to give to Warren.
Indeed, "great" is an understatement; it runs absolutely beautifully. I
have never seen anything like that. WordPerfect 8, running from a KDE
taskbar, took one second to load, and zero (i.e., ZERO) second to import
an HTML document. As far as I am concerned, this is more than amazing,
it is truly unbelievable.
Of course, there were some glitches in the beginning, such as that I had
to manually load the tulip driver for the Linksys NIC, and re-work on
the desktop, task bar, etc. But that's not much a price to pay.
OTOH, Mandrake 9.0 beta 2 is not nearly as ready as Mandrake 8.2 beta 2
at an equivalent stage. Mandrake is laying off a bunch of people,
including some core developers. Without a viable business model (it is
now living "primarily" on gratituous club membership), I don't know how
much longer it can survive. Very sad!
