... KNOPPIX boots into the GUI in 80MB or more, though anything resource-intensive (like OpenOffice) will slow it to a crawl.
Well crawl is a relative term. A crawl for an inchworm is far, far slower than a crawl for a Komodo dragon. I think Knoppix opening OpenOffice on a laptop with 96MB is somewhere close to inchworm slow. ;')
True enough. I've always thought a "crawl" basically meant "a speed wherein it takes longer to open the application than it does to finish some real work on the application."
KNOPPIX in 96MB means I usually type things in a CLI editor anyway, even if its in an XTerm window. KWrite or GEdit if I'm desperate for a GUI Editor.
