My only experience with Linux was an install of Slackware on a pentium 1 @ 90MHz.  The performance I got out of it was better than the 650 P!!! running windows, so I was much impressed.  But I have no need for Linux and its performance now. :-) Gotta love the ole' AMD chips and their overclockability.  Stable at a 30% increase in clock speed.

Jesus.  I might have to try installing Slackware on my P133.  How easy is that to set up?

I've heard a lot of mixed experiences with SP2.  Some people (like Eddie and a friend of hydrobond's) had such bad problems that their computers didn't work after installing it.  Others had no problems whatsoever.  I'm staying away from it for now.

My computer works fine after installing it. The only thing that screwed up my computer for awhile was WMP10 it would freeze everything up. I dont know how for sure but that problem got resolved.


Question what happened to the Random Photo thread i noticed (dont remember how long ago) that like 2 pages got chopped off

@Nep - Frank did all the work on the slackware.  To edit stuff I FTP's into the box.  I never touched the linux, so I cant really comment. But it is only command line, there is no GUI.

@Arr - can you crop that pic please, its huge.  What Linux flavor is that?  I may have to give it a try.

And on a side note, if you get the CD version of SP2, it works fine.  I think there might have been a corruption issue with getting it over the net.

I wish I could. I tried by editing my post and making a link to it, but the image will just stay there. Mike will have to remove it.

It's KDE on Mandrake 10.

I should get that  Slackware package because I've been putting off experimenting with Linux and I have several Pentium I machines and 386 and 486 machines that I'd like to try new things with.

Also I haven't gotten the XP SP2 yet. I don't have fast downloads or a credit card so I have to try to remember when I'm at a friend's house to get it. I actually forgot about it because I got the Yahoo anti-spyware toolbar and then got the Mozilla Firefox browser so I no longer have spyware issues on my XP machine.

I just talked to someone today who told me SP2 has HUGE security holes and that SP3 has been out for a week or 2 already. I can confirm the security holes but i am looking into the SP3 because i will get it seeing as it can't be any worse than what i got now.
