Consider these memory requirements for Fedora Core 2, as specified by Red Hat: Minimum for graphical: 192MB and Recommended for graphical: 256MB Does that sound any alarm bells with you? 192MB minimum? I've been running Linux for five years (and am a huge supporter), and have plenty of experience with Windows, Mac OS X and others. And those numbers are shocking -- severely so. No other general-purpose OS in existence has such high requirements. Linux is getting very fat.

really? your 512MB Opteron cannot run Firefox on WXP Pro fast enough?
either you've got the wrong/unoptimized drivers, or maybe your system is loaded down with spyware and viruses
i tried using a Pentium III 500 (the one with 512K L2 cache that runs at half the CPU speed) with 256MB with WXP Pro and it was fast and very very usable.
