Re:I love running Linux on my old TOshiba Satellit (Score 1)

I do not do any heavy compiles on this laptop.... for that I use one of the servers in my office, and transfer the compiled binaries. RPMs work pretty well too. It would have taken a few days at least to compile X... but thanks to an dual xeon linux server in my office, it takes a jiffie. Also, you need to keep an eye on your swap usage. Too much of it, and it will take your system down to a crawl.
