He he:) The price may have dropped or the spec. upgraded by then. I'm
downloading Linpus lite live CD to try with a VIA EPIA 800 MHz Mini ITX
and a 500MHz VIA CPU and will compare the performance, look and feel with
normal Fedora on both CPU's and MS XP (a necessary work box). The OS has
been designed for very low power boxes. Linpus claim that Lite will run
smoothly and reliably on a 500MHz CPU. The download is slow, either the OS
has suddenly become popular and Linpus's servers and bandwidth can't cope
or the download service is low spec. I haven't found any decent mirrors.
I'll try the Live CD tomorrow.
