Sorry, I can't agree with you. At my site, we have several Am586/133 (ASUS
486 boards with the AMD processor), mostly 16MB of ram, and everything
NFS-mounted. It's true that the first beta was painfully slow, but it was
faster than booting Novell, Windows 3.11 and starting Word 6.
Now, with the second beta, it's a lot faster than Winword. Even with
16megs of RAM on a 486. Of course, I haven't tried it on my 386 yet...
