1 GHz SCREAMS on Zenwalk
It's funny, when Steven J. Vaughn Nichols talks about "old" hardware, he has this in mind:
For my tests, I'm going to use my Insignia 300a, an older, Best Buy house-brand desktop PC with a 2.8GHz Pentium IV CPU, a GB of RAM and an Ultra ATA/100 60GB hard drive. In short, it's a decent, but in no way, shape or form, cutting-edge system.
For me, the Gateway Solo 1450 laptop on which I'm testing Zenwalk 4.6.1 is my newest PC. It's a 1 GHz Celeron, 256 MB of RAM and 30 GB Toshiba hard drive.
And Zenwalk is running GREAT on it. Already I've added MtPaint, J-Pilot and Fluxbox.
Under Fluxbox, it runs even better. No surprise, but this is a sweet setup.
