I suggest you to change your OS -_-; as my experience, you can install the Windows XP on Pentium 3 600Mhz machine.(but, of course it needs some tunings. and enough memory, above 196MB) As the tuning, not much need. just kill some services. BTW, I used Ultraedit for about 10 years in Windows 98 and XP. but now I use PSPad. 'cause it's free software and has powerful functions. but I can't be sure PSPad can support Windows ME. and I don't suggest you to try learn other editor on Linux, if you don't know linux well. I don't know about Linux, but I want to work on Linux, so I installed VMware and Ubuntu in it. and I tried to learn vi, vim, emacs, gedit, etc.. But those are too difficult. Is it worth that spending time to learn editor's using? I don't think so. anyway good luck ^^ _______________________________________________ Gimp-docs mailing list Gimp-docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-docs
