That's why I don't use or desire to use CDE at all. 8-) I've got 2.6 running
fine on my LX here, and I use normal Openwindows and ignore CDE completely.

The main consideration besides processor ability is the ammount of RAM. More
RAM means less swapping to/from disk.

It's a pity Cycle are the only company  making SS5 clone boards for the
IPC/IPX and LC/LX cases. Axil's SS5 clone boards were only made in some
customs sizes and a size to fit in the 3/80, SS1, SS1+ and SS2 cases.

Regards,

Craig.
