At last I am able to see Linux in its full glory. Replaced my old P1 (200 MHz) 128 Meg with an AMD Athlon 2400+ (2 GHz) 256 Meg. I was losing faith in Linux's performance somewhat, though, to be fair, it was my inferior configuration that was to blame. I was even veering around to the view that may be the Mac afficionados were right after all. Happy to say that Linux rocks! Now, if only I could move my DSL connection from my Windows box as well...
