[GRLUG] Bodhi Linux

[Bob Kline]

Anyway care to provide a small word salad
about what e17 is?

On the subject, is anyone actually strapped
for speed?  i.e., what is it you do that requires
more speed than you have?  I suppose this
would get in to how old the iron is one is
running.  Today it wold take effort to get
less than a dual core processor, and quad
core is common and inexpensive enough.
