You got enough answers that I really don't need to throw in my $0.02, but here goes. I've got it running on a Gateway2000 E3000 (P5-233) w/ 64MB RAM. I didn't have any real trouble installing it (except that I'm still enough of a Dewbie to not really know what I'm doing). I've got WinNT running in a window and Win95 running in a window next to that; both have been allocated 32MB RAM. They both perform fairly well (about like how a Timbuktu (or PCAnywhere?) session over an ethernet LAN performs). I'm only using it as a demo of what can be accomplished, but everything I've thrown at it (except for one game) works well (but then I haven't thrown EVERYTHING at it). I'm very impressed with the technology, but the price ($300 for a corporate user, $99 for individual, unknown for Academic) will prevent me from keeping it; not because it's not worth it, but because I can't justify it on campus since the word from above is that "Linux is NOT coming to campus" (but I know it IS, and has already made some inroads -- nonetheless, I don't control the purse-strings). -- Kent West [EMAIL PROTECTED] KC5ENO - Amateur Radio: When all else fails.
