- I have been running NT 3.51 for some time now on a DX4-120 with
- 20 meg of ram, and i am quite happy with it.
-
- The last 6 months i have tried all systems which have come-up in this
- thread, and i basically have one remark to the people who have been
- mentioning Lynux.
-
- Lynux is great, but when using x-windows, which is the rightfull way
- to compare it with the other os's which are all graphical, don't fool
- yourself by saying it's memory requirements are low. With my 20mb, it
- was constantly swapping to my drive. ( running 2-3 apps )
-
- So when comparing Lynux to graphical os's you should consider comparing
- it when it is running x-windows, and when you do, you are not realistic
- if you think it will run smoothly on a slow machine with 4mb of ram.
