I have a 1.4 AMD with 512 Megs of memory ..... and I run XP just fine. Of course, I got rid of my BETA and my friend got me a Corporate Version so I don't have to worry about the authentication codes.
I never liked Windows 98 or 98SE - I always considered them poorly patched versions of 95B and 95C. Always had video driver problems, soundcard/modem conflicts, etc. Just a major headache.
I don't mind RedHat or Mandrake - but I really don't need that server power. Not hosting anything here, and I'm not all that "enthralled" with Star Office or Corel Office.
I like my MAC too though (G4) - it's the only thing I'd consider doing any graphics or video editing on. Windows and Linux - sorry. Neither of you do what the MAC can do in the graphics and video arena. Don't even come close, probably won't for some time to come.
I'm pretty non-committal (probably why I'm not married yet - who wants commitment?) - I use what's best for what I want to do. Being a Linux or Windows or a MAC bigot is narrow-minded and narrow-focused .... I'm open minded.
