I agree with almost everything you said Dotan - however, Fedora Core 3 or 4 can be made much faster than XP if you use the XFCE deskop. XFCE has a windows UI available, and although its different than what most people are used to (no icons on desktop), you can use apps like konqueror that feel like IE enough so non-linux gurus can move files around. When using KDE, my machines always feel slightly more responsive when using XP. When using XFCE, even my 1.1 Ghz celeron flies. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dotan Cohen" <dotancohen@xxxxxxxxx> To: <Robin.Laing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "For users of Fedora Core releases" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 11:49 AM Subject: Re: Browsers for those IE-only sites <snip> >> Maintaining linux is easy?
