never heard for linux?
What has that got to do with the hardware, hypocrite?
you are saying that vista needs more powerful hardware which is true;
Its true but a misquote.
Linux does not and its user base is growing so thats a sign that the
second hand machines could be given new useful lives without needing
to be recycled into scrap parts.
For many people linux would give them all the stuff they use a
computer for ( most people only really browse and word process on the
darned things)
We are not talking about most people. I have been accused of having
too many computers, by hypocrites here who have more than one
computer. Among other things I use computers for video which ideally
requires very fast processors and plenty of HD storage. As a
compromise I network three older computers instead of buying one new
one.
You might realise that most of the CGI special effects in todays movies
are in fact done on machines running Linux.
