Will DSL run well on a Dual P2-450 rig with 385MB RAM? I'd like to turn it into a 'net, bookkeeping and folding@home rig.

thanks,

Rob

It would run with 1/10th of that..

DSL loves multi-processor boards..
and 385MB ram will allow you to load the entire OS into ram
with room to spare...

Let us know what you think..

I would be nice to have an app or two similar to
3dMark or Passmark for overall benchmarking of systems
running DSL ..

Just to see how well it runs on different boxes using
different setups, hdparms, ram timing/latencies, etc..

It would also be informative to see how DSL
compares to other distros on the same box ..
