I am really, really sorry to hear that from you, Lamar.
You alway seemed to me a very reasonable and smart person, but to suggest
that just because Fernando Lozano is in Brazil he "may not have even a
Pentium" is, to say the least, a terrible proof of ignorance and prejudice.
For your information, we, brazilians, do not have to fight lions on the
street or whatever other things you may imagine. Actually, we are doing very
well as it comes to tecnology. I, for instance, work everyday on a Pentium
III 1Ghz with 256MB of memory and a 17 inches monitor.
Sorry for posting a mail like this to the list, but I just couldn't help
myself.

For some folks with older machines, 6.2 is as high as it goes. Ever install
7.1 on a 486? This fellow is in Brazil -- and may not have even a Pentium,
for all we know.
PostgreSQL 7.1.x, for the record, runs (well, it jogs at least) on even an
old 486DX4-100 I had RH 6.2 installed on (48MB RAM). (That machine went on
the mission field....)
