GNOME was fast when it was still using gtk+ 1.0 but now gtk+ 1.1 is ssssoooooooo ssslllloooowwww. It's painful for me to use, I thought kde was slow at first then I tried a.99.x series gnome. AAARRRGGHHH, and enlightenment is slow to, it was nice and usable in the 0.13 days. My machine is not too slow, a Pent 150 with 128MB Ram. But nooooo everyone has to go develop software for these Pentium XXIs running at 87 Kagillion megahertz. Anyway, enough of that. I'll switch to gnome when a) it gets faster or b) I get a new computer.
Wow, Thanks Linus and the whole linux team. Your guys really do awsome work. 2.2.0-final compiled in 2 minutes and 30 seconds ( including modules ). I've run 2.2pre4 and up on a duel PII 450 with 384 MB Ram, Netteligent ethernet controller and a DPT Smart RAID IV raid controller. It sings wonderfuly. I like the fast that it's no longer necesary to put an append="mem in lilo now.
Nothing like a little liquid nitrogen to keep things cool. Maybe I'll try to over clock my 386/25 to a few terahertz now. Now I just need to find a motherboard.
It 2020 we'll probably all have quoptical (quantum/optical) processors behind our ears with a natural language audio user interface. These devices will all be connected by a transparent wireless network type which has not even be thought of yet and the operating software will be writen by Linus' children while on a beer run to finland for their father.

Anyway, thanks. Take a break you deserve it.

Umm... yeah, someone tell me to go to bed.

While running pre6 which compiled in 2:26 on pre5 with compiled in 2:25 on 2.0.36.
Wheee I love super fast kernel compiles, I got the download, configure, compile, reboot in under 15 minutes.!
