[CS-FSLUG] OS/2 Anyone?

[Yama Ploskonka]

Trying to get a job in a Box that is bound to Canonical (the pooh-bahs 
behind Ubuntu) they convinced me to go with that one, so I dropped 
PCLinuxOS, which I had run flawlessly up to then.  Ubuntu recognizes 
some hardware I was having trouble with (a Canon printer, basically), 
but seems noisier, slower, and generally I'm not sure I gained by the 
change.  I am finding it will get very demanding on memory when 
multitasking, everything sort of freezes.  I just upped to 768 MB, and 
it's sort of OK.  PCLOS was happy with 512.

Worst is, I didn't get the job... :-(
