Why is it that I always hear about how windows is so bloated when kde and esp. gnome can take up even more space? how did people run linux with X five years ago and what happened so they can't with the same computer now? recently I was looking around at free beos clones, there's a community doing this centered at http://beunited.org. most of them actually use linux and X to make their os. I heard many of them talking about how bad linux is for a graphical desktop and they can run their beos clones on old computers very quickly. apparently, some have found ways to make X run much faster. I haven't tried them out yet, but this is something to check out, I'm not sure if there's binary or source compatability with linux. I've also heard that freebsd is faster on the desktop than linux. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
