It took me only seconds after I installed SUSE Linux to see that my desktop machine is too slow to support it properly with KDE. This is a Supermicro P6SBA motherboard with a 350MHz CPU. It was, of course, blazingly fast when I bought it, but that was then, while this is now.
It's amazing how a CPU can slow down with age. ;-)
There is a similar effect with aluminum. In my childhood, the DC3s that flew in and out of the nearby airport were very large. In the intervening years, aluminum shrinkage has made them quite small. There are still quite a lot of goony-birds around, and they are nothing like as large as they were when I was a kid. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel "When your enemy falls, do not rejoice." -- Proverbs 24:17 Old Fart n. slang (old fart'; in New England, old faaht') Tribal Elder.
