My first experience with Linux a few years ago was rather awkward when I had to learn how to prune Redhat 5.2 enough so that my 486 worked decently as a GUI desktop. Granted, the latest Linux still runs better than the latest Redmond has to offer on the the same hardware. I still think in order for Linux to gain more legitimacy, we need to defeat some of our own FUD. Some Linux evangelists I've met have made outrageously vague and ambiguous remarks regarding the speed and efficiency of Linux that make no sense when applied to a modern multimedia PC. It wouldn't be supprising if there are Linux novices out there who have been told of the extreme efficiency of the Linux kernel and are trying to run the latest kernel on obsolete hardware. I knew nothing of linux when I first started out, but I had a geek background and I was stubborn. Most folks weaned on Microsoft may not be as persistant. If you are just starting out with Linux as I was a few years ago, how do you make the appropriate hardware decisions? Does all this new kernel stuff matter to you? If so, why? How do you know it's important?
