I am running on a PIII, 500mhz clunker which I overclock to 575mhz. No screamer by anyone's standards. I have 500m memory which is OK.
I started with KDE because it came with Knoppix. Along with the usual foibles of unstable, I really have few complaints. While KDE applications do not spring up instantaneously, they speed-daemons compared with OpenOffice which is a "well-regarded" application. I agree that less heavy applications would be better on much older systems. One can, of course, run Debian without a GUI at all and use X with Ice or one of the minimal WMs for a few GUI applications as needed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
