I haven't been keeping up with the Linux desktop scene much, but after reading this story on /. The troubles users claim with speed and stability are enlightening. One user claims that another is crazy to try to run Linux on a K6-300 with 128Mb and recommends a 1Ghz+ system with 256Mb. Note that I'm currently running eCS 1.1 on a P300 with 96Mb quite nicely. Fair warning for all those who feel that the grass might be greener on the other side.
