<snip><snip><snip><snip><snip> You know, if it wasn't for this thread I would have never known about WhiteBox Linux. I went ahead and installed it on VMWare Workstation 4.5.2 (build 8848) hosted on WinXP Pro (build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633) and it is noticeably faster than FC2 also running as a virtual machine with identical settings. From bootup to X application loadings everything just seems so much smoother. Heck, even FC1 (also running as a VM with identical settings) is faster. You're mileage may vary, but I'm sticking with FC1 and WhiteBox until FC3 is out. Thanks for the lively debate. Wil
