Not really. I'm a still-naive Linux user and am casually about a month 
away from freeing up a P4 dual core, with 2 GB RAM, which had some 
Xastir goodness heading it's way. Nothing critical of course, and I 
haven't yet begun to see what distro and version might usefully run on 
that. (Tips welcome.)

I'm also but one person and other avenues are or can be open to me, now 
I'm willing to spend a bit on some I5 or I7 Intel CPU based machines I'm 
seeing here.

73, John
