Hi, Ann. I haven't tried the Freedom Box yet. A Pentium 233 can run X,
but it will be slow. After my desktop crashed, Mary Ann and I have
been sharing a P 233 laptop with 60 meg of ram. As you know, she does
everything in the GUI. Browzing with Mozilla works for her, but it is
real slow. I wouldn't want to try running the Freedom Box on such a
slow system. This box is still using Gnome 1.4 and I can't easily
upgrade it any way.
If you have more than 64 meg of ram try it, but be prepared to wait.
Hope this helps.
Kenny
