'A 2GB image for each user will have a big impact.'"

XP Service Pack 2 is much older than Fedora Core 6. They run many of the same apps; Fire Fox, The GIMP, etc. I'll admit that PPC processors were faster than AMD and Intel, but not that much.

What the hell, mods? The parent is right. The GP isn't a troll and neither is the parent, who should be modded offtopic. (As should I. Go on, you know you want to.)
If you're going to mod someone down, at least use the right one. (But I suppose this is what metamoderation is for.
I just read Slashdot for the articles.
Installed Ubuntu, and now have a triple 1600x1200 head setup with 3 monitors attached to 2 video cards.
It looks beautiful.
You've peaked my interest. I have dual LCDs at home now (mainly for work-purposes). Can I ask what kind of video cards you use and if you've ever had any driver troubles? Also, what version of Ubuntu are you currently running?
