Same for Vista and everything else produced by Microsoft. I haven't seen Vista yet, so I can't say one way or another. But I *have* seen the hardware requirements for Vista, and I just love the idea of everyone dumping their 2 GHz P4's with a mere 1 GB RAM since they're too slow for Vista. In a year or so the market should be flooded with cheap boxen more than suitable for even the fattest *nixen. -- trammell at el-swifto.com 9EC7 BC6D E688 A184 9F58 FD4C 2C12 CC14 8ABA 36F5 Twin Cities Linux Users Group (TCLUG) Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota
