Re: Image comments for The only one here runnin Opera .... and Linux too ??
Nah, dudn even take any fancy hardware to run 'em either. Opera can run on pretty much anything and here's Ubuntus requirements, which by todays standards are archaic
Bare Minimum requirements
It should be possible to get Ubuntu running on a system with the following minimum hardware specification, although it is unlikely that the system would run well. You should use the Alternate install CD to attempt such an installation.
300 MHz x86 processor
64 MB of system memory (RAM)
At least 4 GB of disk space (for full installation and swap space)
VGA graphics card capable of 640x480 resolution
CD-ROM drive or network card
Recommended minimum requirements
Ubuntu should run reasonably well on a computer with the following minimum hardware specification. However, features such as visual effects may not run smoothly.
700 MHz x86 processor
384 MB of system memory (RAM)
8 GB of disk space
Graphics card capable of 1024x768 resolution
Sound card
A network or Internet connection
^^^^^All fits most machines 6-8yrs old ^^^^^^
Note: All 64-bit (x86-64) PCs should be able to run Ubuntu. Use the 64-bit installation CD for a 64-bit-optimised installation. <- Runs much smoother to me ... and FASTER
Recommended for visual effects
Visual effects provide various special graphical effects for your desktop to make it look and feel more fun and easier to use. If your computer is not powerful enough to run visual effects, you can turn them off and will still have a usable Ubuntu desktop.
Visual effects are turned on by default if you have a graphics card which is supported. For information on supported graphics cards, see DesktopEffects.
1.2 GHz x86 processor
384 MB of system memory (RAM)
Supported graphics card (see DesktopEffects)
I think I have a total of under $700 invested in the new machine I just finished buildin. 'Course if you wanted to buy a similar machine at the ol "Big Box" outlet it'd problee be closer to $1500. But, I much prefer to build my own so I can use better overall equipment and 'cause I just ain't payin anyone else a chunk of $$ to do a so-so job of assemblin my hardware. There's a pocket full of lil tricks I used that will never show up in a "bought" machine
