Oh bull$hit.

So you're talking old, slow hardware.

As long as you don't try to browse the net, use a GUI file manager, or mail
client, or do most of the normal GUI tasks, yeah, sure, it's "faster".  So's
DOS.

GUI speed is NOT one of Linux' bragging rights - as long as we use the X11
model, it can't be, more integrated systems will outperform it on equivalent
hardware.

Yes, I've seen a Linux box that appeared faster than a Windows box - but it
was Linux on new hardware vs. four or five year old hardware running Windows
98.
