it used to be that open source software was a lean and mean fighting machine, now the typical linucs install is about 2-3x that of an xp partition, don't know anything about vista. and running the proggies often brings up situations like beagle or a software update, much better than 10.2 but still awful timewise, on dual core or even quad core cpus with oodles of ram!!!!! d.
This is really apples and oranges here. I have XP on a single XP, when I loaded it all there was only the very min desktop, nothing else.
