Faster than what ?
i think that Jvm on Linux is faster than Jvm on Panther, isn't it?
moreover, i think that graphic interface of Panther is slow..

I got an old (_really_ old) PCI ide card, and tried to insert it into my

However the 7300 running debian 3.0 with

racer has sloowed way down again.
Looking in /var/log/XFree86*.log the only bad thing I can
