I am thinking about installing Linux/XFree on the following system:
386/25MHz/ISA/8MB/340MB(IDE)
My video card, ATI Wonder/512 is not supported, but I can buy something
used and cheap (I hope) that is supported (like ATI Wonder XL).
I wonder what speed may I expect as compared to OS/2 2.0 and
DOS/Windows. Windows are fast on my machine. OS/2 is slower, but
acceptable.
Also, how good is the installation process? Do I need to spend a lot
of time configuring the system manually? (both Linux and XFree)
Thanks for any information,
--
