Sorry, I can't agree with you. At my site, we have several Am586/133 (ASUS 486 boards with the AMD processor), mostly 16MB of ram, and everything NFS-mounted. It's true that the first beta was painfully slow, but it was faster than booting Novell, Windows 3.11 and starting Word 6. Now, with the second beta, it's a lot faster than Winword. Even with 16megs of RAM on a 486. Of course, I haven't tried it on my 386 yet... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexander List, Neue-Welt-Hoehe 52a, A-8042 Graz, Austria, EU phone: +43-316-474737 Home address: Dafens 4, A-6824 Schlins, Austria, EU phone: +43-5524-8560 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sbox.tu-graz.ac.at/home/alexlist -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.6.3i mQCNAzKUShwAAAEEAKSeONtZF24pqL5eK3Q3PHJis0dI3uOKMFjOWwiwSyVyaKHp FCCmHCayDabMVgGUnjHxIUZj7Rmlz5RT1GGKMBSK67yFD0mGVrl8eGoH1bBDviGj S+quQ45SY/upp670EOqrxyp6pJk1uR+RjteFepzZ5am55tEMjGWTYnZjEXP1AAUR tEJBbGV4YW5kZXIgTS4gTGlzdCA8YWxleGxpc3RAc2JveC50dS1ncmF6LmFjLmF0 PiA0NDAyMDIwNzc0IDkzMzI1NTSJAJUDBRAylEocZZNidmMRc/UBAVyBA/9l8Qff Iuva0vmzrE4EbVfgonVjY4BKRVcB5QgxC9PTAILu2/aM4NyT8lOEhCjw4x5wzxLJ Z3FWw3kTe9R/r0RKU49SA1pE7Fge+sbdXH/Z7g+SLZ1myMVX3sZaVFDzhCOO0C7I FA4Izn2zQulIxsxcBaqEV5qIUW58cF7+JbJj6A== =SyLK -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
