Just looking through a few posts dotted here and there and it makes me laugh that I see people complaining that, for instance "Quake 4" runs slow and jerky or that it takes a LONG time to open and 35mb image file in Gimp and render a filter. And THEN they post their machine spec, usually P3 512MB ram, IDE hard drive and a Riva TNT GeForce card
As we ALL know, Linux (Ubuntu) walks away with the title for running very well on low spec pc's, but people seem to have this un-realistic expectation that it will run all the bells and whistles on PC's they might have thrown out 5 years ago but have gathered dust in a corner till now.
*Breath in, breath out.... ahh*
Sorry had to get that off my chest! :)
