I've been running this system for a few months now, I like it, it goes pretty fast for what I want to do (except X). I had X-win running for awhile, but removed it as I only have an older 14inch monitor, that doesn't do 800x600 very well. So I have to run it in 640x480, which is rather horrible!!! Plus it was rather slow, took 30 seconds to a minute to load xterm!!! I could use it as an XServer pretty well, using a Win3.11 machine running an X-Win client - ran OK. I use fetchmail, pine, slrn, and lynx for most web stuff, I also use IP-Masqerading so my other computers on my network can access the internet. I have the Java Development Kit installed as well, so I can compile Java stuff, and can run Java binaries as executables (although not graphical ones), I can't run Applets, but can develop them and test them on a better system later. I don't think anything else could give me the versatility and functions that Linux gives me with my system. I would rather go without a graphical web browser than give up my Linux system!!! Thanks for you help, Tim.
