Hardly true.
My Linux desktop at work is a 350 MhZ Pentium II -- an old IBM box
that could probably survive a few bullets or being thrown down the
stairs. It's not an exciting machine, but it ~never~ screws up. I
could get a newer Dell if I asked, but the Dells have bad IDE
controllers, driver problems, etc.
I maxxed out the RAM to 388 MB and it runs RHEL 4 like a champ.
There are probably some GUI apps that will floor it, but nautilus is
fine and I can have 50 xterms open, a subversion server, a daemon that
collects SNMP data from 30+ hosts, and it's just fine.
