Re: Linux questions from a newb
I'm running SuSE 10.0 with KDE on an old desktop with a 1.4GHz Pentium 4 and 640mb memory. It runs fairly well -- not blazingly fast, but very usable. I initially had just 128Mb of memory, and it was very slow with KDE or Gnome (worse witg Gnome). Adding the memory made a considerable difference. If you want a Windows-like GUI, you want either Gnome or KDE, but they come with almost Windows-like hardware requirements. If you can settle for a lighter-weight GUI, which won't be quite as user-friendly, you can get by with quite a bit less hardware.
