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.

You can buy a whole computer with insufficient memory, but just about everything else, for less than US$200. >2GHz processor. Fry's, maybe Wal-Mart, take a look. And memory is pretty cheap now also. Fry's will sell the machine with a version of Linux installed. You will have to use your old monitor, that doesn't come with, but even a k/b and mouse does.
I envy you your access to such bargains. Wal-Mart does not operate here, nor does anything like it. I never heard of Fry's. Can anyone tell me of experience with SUSE 9.x on a 800MHz system? -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel "When your enemy falls, do not rejoice." -- Proverbs 24:17
