Agreed. I'm using Sid on a Toshiba P3 550 Coppermine, with xfce as the GUI and 300+ Ram. Runs fine even with Firefox 3.5.x, which admittedly is a little slow to start; but once running, browsing is fine. Chrome starts up much faster. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
