Totally agree here, hence why I am tearing my hair out over the system we are
currently distributing in Victoria...this is why I am asking for more memory
in the systems - because - unless we ship a P2 class system - the computer is
way slow, not that useable (lots of waiting time / hdd cranking) and it
doesnt do anything to promote free software as an alternative.
I, as a trainer and a linux user (only since 96) - I am totally embarrassed
when recips say is it really this slow or when KWORD takes up to 4 mins to
open a KWORD document. (P133, 32RAM) We recently had one who decided that
they didnt want this computer after all - it was much too slow.
we dont do less than 64mb ram - its just not viable.
