Anything on the other I can restore from the other. Running SuSE/Redhat/Mandrake with all the KDE2 trimmings w/ Mozilla and the other things that come with the distribution is sort of like running Windows2000 on a P233..workable yet painfully slow sometimes. A P233 is good enough for Win98 which is about the same time frame :) You could most likely take all the hardware you have in that p233 box and replace the mb+cpu for pennies on the dollar w/ an AMD Duron which would be a better test of Linux and give a better impression. -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal" -AE
