Hi Ken! I have Gentoo on this P II 400 notebook with 320 ram and 8 gig I use on the web. I have Gentoo on another box having P II 400 with 384 ram and 20 gig and dual 20" monitors. I had a geek guy set these up for me, however. I have been meaning to set up a VM on a P IV 1.7 with 1.5 ram and 60 gig, Win 2K under Kubuntu, but I haven't gotten around to it. Bad me. I did install the ram at least. This might be easy so I hear, but it won't be lightweight. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
