DSL Tweaking

[Martin Stone]

Sorry if I was harsh - but I was referring to your single-word "No." post.  Why 
would you post that?  What you write here is much more helpful.  As for my own 
experience, like I said, I don't have any personally with Linux/Fedora, but I 
know that I was able to get an improvement on a similar OS, and I know that 
others have reported that improvements were possible under Linux.  So I gave him 
info and pointers that I thought would help him investigate what he wanted to 
know, rather than a one-word "shut up" answer.
