I use FC2 on a Celeron 2.7GHz with 256MB RAM. It's slow when I run
Thunderbird and Mozilla browser at the same time, and thrashes disc
a lot.

I am, also. One thing to watch for: FC2 had a propensity to clobber the
MBR partition descriptions. I had quite a bad time with that, trying to
get it to run with XP, because the PT was inconsistent with the PSPs
on the BRs of the partitions.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
