Ya, it wouldn't run at ALL. Vista requires 768MB RAM just to boot up (iirc). XP "only" requires 256MB.<div>Hell, I tried installing Ubuntu Hardy on an 800MHz laptop & it was a slide show.<br></div><div><br>
</div><div>I agree, though, David. It would be super duper nice if when updating you were only sent the deltas & Linux had a tool to "put the jigsaw puzzle" together.</div><div>Even when doing an upgrade, you can have problems. I just upgraded my Ubuntu Hardy to Heron server install & it was messaging me like crazy w/php-lib package errors.</div>
<div>I already bugged it on launchpad, but I was surprised to have an upgrade issue.<br><br></div><div>--miguel</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 7:41 PM, David Lawyer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dave@lafn.org">dave@lafn.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>
