right... so that's ~10 years old... I'm guessing given a P3 which were
ending there cycle about 2000 with 1.2 GHz being the the upper
performance range... for comparison I'm using 1.2G of ram right now
without flash running... all of that between chromium and ktorrent. I
couldn't run most of what I do now on linux with that system... so yes
there are apps (like fluxbox) that would let me run that light. But
for the most part it's just not true anymore.
