True enough.  I've always thought a "crawl" basically
meant "a speed wherein it takes longer to open the
application than it does to finish some real work on
the application."

KNOPPIX in 96MB means I usually type things in a CLI
editor anyway, even if its in an XTerm window.  KWrite
or GEdit if I'm desperate for a GUI Editor.
