[luau] Linksys and Red Hat (Not)

[W. Wayne Liauh]

Further to my comment.  Limbo 2 runs great on the GHz Athlon machine 
that I am going to give to Warren.

Indeed, "great" is an understatement; it runs absolutely beautifully.  I 
have never seen anything like that.  WordPerfect 8, running from a KDE 
taskbar, took one second to load, and zero (i.e., ZERO) second to import 
an HTML document.  As far as I am concerned, this is more than amazing, 
it is truly unbelievable.

Of course, there were some glitches in the beginning, such as that I had 
to manually load the tulip driver for the Linksys NIC, and re-work on 
the desktop, task bar, etc.  But that's not much a price to pay.

OTOH, Mandrake 9.0 beta 2 is not nearly as ready as Mandrake 8.2 beta 2 
at an equivalent stage.  Mandrake is laying off a bunch of people, 
including some core developers.  Without a viable business model (it is 
now living "primarily" on gratituous club membership), I don't know how 
much longer it can survive.  Very sad!
