You can do a binary search also in a linked list.

See e.g. the 'balance' function in @lib/misc.l (not a binary *search*,
but an analog processing).

Hi Rick,

Lubuntu looks very promising. I think I have to give it a try. Thanks!

I think you could also give it a try with the current 64bit version.
I may be wrong, but what it means is that if you have more than 2Gb RAM, a
32bit system cannot address them and therefore you need 64bit,
unless you enable big memory support that slows down the 32-bit system
(that is what I recall from the time, but again, I may be wrong).
