I Miss Snausages: Mar 8, 2005; Volvorific!

If you like using Linux, as long as you use a simple window manager, things happen in the blink of an eye for web surfing, productivity, etc. I purposely run Bohdi Linux because of this. Even on 2016 5775 i7 with crappy Intel graphics boot is in 5 seconds, and with Firefox with 12 tabs, only using 2.1 gb of memory. Not till the M1 chip in my MacBook Air, did a computer feel revolutionary fast to use for the first time since my Core 2 Duo quad with an SSD running Vista SP2 x64.
