I have an AMD K6 (1.4 GHz, 512 MB memory) that is definitely older than 4 years. It has had SuSE (or whatever they were called at the time) 9.1, 9.3, 10.1, 10.2 and currently has openSUSE 10.3 on it.
This is a desktop machine (no real server functions) but as a desktop my experience has been that each release *seems* faster than the previous one. (Most likely this is due to improvements in KDE specifically).
So Mike, James, Don, hats off. Using old hardware and not replacing it with the latest iron on a regular basis really does have a significant impact on energy consumption. Wrt being pleased doing that: You are _so_ up for a ride whenever you choose to switch to contemporary hardware. I bet you a copy of BBC's "Changing World" that you will not go back to these old boxes with joy in your heart :) Wolfgang And Don, yes, KDE is getting slicker, same experience here. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
