youd really want 256mb to be confortable with windows XP

Sickboy read previous postings before "wise" replying

Sickboy

try to run photshop in kde3 with 64Mb RAM and 4096Mb RAM and report us the difference lol

point me to a native linux photoshop binary and i will

d**k

Easy now people!

I can't say I've played yet with KDE3 and only a little with XP but I'm sure we'll get the same arguments we did when Win2K first turned up...

Disagreements fine (so long as there is a valid agrument behind it) but lets try to keep it civil!

cheers

Agreed NSKL. Depend what is purpose? If you are use for Workstation, choose Windows product. Otherwise, Linux (for me RH) is the best. Here is what I normally do. After installed remove the gui and boot up from console. If you really wanna to do something(lazy) instead of command, just export the gui to ur IE or vncviwer. And I did it on Solaris 8.0 too.

we were discussing how come linux with kde3 got more resource hungry than windoze, not which os should one use, nor which one is better...
( so I don't see where does photoshop fit in as Sickboy is argumenting, and then get all nervous about it)

look, i dont disagree that linux with kde3 is pretty slow. i do not believe however that given the same specs, it is slower than a windows xp system

But linux with 64mb ram IS NOT SLOW. KDE3 with 64mb of ram is butt slow. This is an important distinction and when you just forget to make it for the sake of grabbing attention, that makes me mad.

If you cant affford more RAM and still want to use linux, maybe i can suggest either windowmaker or FLUXBOX. Fluxbox is very small, fast, and looks great.

If you can afford more RAM and are just being foolish, then what can i say? Dont use linux and dont post in this forum!

To Noerr and SICKBOY,

This is getting out of hand, please abide by the RULES and stop the personal attacks. Opinions are welcome, personal attacks are not.
As I can read thru the posts SICKBOY, Noerr is only making opinions in his posts, if you don't agree, fine then you don't have to, you can either have a counter argument without the name calling or don't respond. And watch the language as well. If you don't like the rules you shouldn't post here either.

look, i only called him a dick, and misrepresenting FACTS is not making an opinion.

Besides, the moderators here sometimes dont hold back in what they say, and they are meant to be setting an example.

Need i remind of your english moderator friend?

he has been quite QUITE personal at times in the past

As moderators, Jeremy didn't pick us for just our knowledge of Linux I believe but for other reasonings as well.

And our English moderator, well he got picked only cause he wouldn't go away.. Just kidding Acid.. And he has been diciplined and trained well now.

But that isn't the point, Moderator's here aren't here to judge people's opinions, tell them if they are actually wrong, right. The only time anyone should be corrected if they are wrong is if they give someone an answer that is clearly wrong.
Noerr I believe is wrong IMO on some aspects of his posts here, I agree with you on some of your responses, but I see more flaming and personal attacks from you than anyone else on this thread topic. You calling him a dick, troll and whatever else totally trying to prove him wrong in the process with your own facts, opinions, calling names is not tolerated here.
There is no need to take anything personal here, some people maybe enlightened, others may not, just move on and forget about it or don't post here if you can't keep yourself from calling others a name cause you think they are wrong or you get frustrated at them.

So keep it clean please.

point taken, i will try not to get angry about silly things.

I think i might like linux a bit too much. its like if i said something about one of your family members, youd have to be pretty cool not to get annoyed with me, the same goes for me and linux which is a bit sad given it is an OS

I'm running Apache Web server on P133/64 and it works ggggreat! Oh yes, distribution is Slackware 8.1, 2.4.18. The sistem eats aroung 11Mb of ram. Nuff' said.

sickboy,
you are getting too emotional. discuss on subject of the tread and not on people writing treads (ie. look at zeky's reply- what does that have to do with kde3 being slow on 64 ram -- but I don't call him bad names, neither anyone else).

and u'R right about linux running fine on 64Mb ram, and rather kde3 being slow with 64Mb ram, but I wasn't talking about console from the start.
btw it runs slow with older kde/gnome desktops, and here is my point, Wxp runs just as fast, or rather faster with same hardware. (again the point isn't about buying new ram or not - being cheap or not)
stay focused

btw this tread has really gone too far,
maybe mods should close it, before someone crashes his monitor - so he won't see paragraph with widoze > linux .

Running X takes a lot of ram
