<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I am running Linux on a Fujitsu C353 Lifebook, Pentium 2 300 mhz 96 megs of ram, 10/100 nic, 16x cdrom drive. Not much of a system compared to my windows box, but it was a learning experience putting linux on it

I am using Gentoo Linux, with KDE 3.1.2. Still working on getting sound and other things up and running but otherwise its has been all good</div>

Even then, you can still use Wine and don't need Windows. Why bother? Well, maybe you want to get hit by a INTERNET WORM because of a SECURITY HOLE in REMOTE ACCESS software!!</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Its decent, its the 1st linux i have ever installed. From what i have heard i probably should have gone with a newbier version of linux, but gentoo has been a good learning experience. You have alot of control over your system</div>
