Actually that might be circa 1994. I just remember it being really funny, something along the lines of "100 reasons why the AMD 486DX4-100 is better than an Intel Pentium" with one of the reasons about it being able to do maths correctly (in reference to the early Pentium DIV bug?). :-) RobI've got a 50MHz 486 upstairs with a gig of ram inside that I cant seem to part with. It used to outperform the pentium 70 and was not far behind the 120. Ran Yggdrassil with a 0.91 kernel ISTR it booted faster than Unity on my 4 core 2.5Ghz AMD.... Tom te tom tomI remember that distro, and 0.91 kernel must have been one of the really early releases. I started a little later kernel 1.0.5 on slackware, i am sure the cd with that on is still around somewhere. Paul
