I don't know the answer, but you may consider trying Debian with some lightweight window manager like XFCE or even possibly no X, only console. IMHO the bottleneck is not 32bit, but only 3GB RAM. >From my experience I have run XFCE in a virtual machine with only 4GB RAM and one core and it is slow, but usable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
