Yet Another reason to use linux...

[Pavel Zaitsev]

It isn't such an issue at this time. In general Windows XP similar in memory
demands to common desktop distro. Linux, OS X and Windows are different beasts
and have come long way.

I would agree that any linux is better then Windows 98. It had number of software 
loops that would literally burn your CPU, as such you could get software coolers
for win 98 machines.

Linux isn't immune to bad programming too, but it happens rarely. If anyone
remember VM switch by Linus into the live kernel.

As well for general power savings one can refer to APM and Energy part of ACPI.

Its nice however to see that government is very positive about Linux deployment.
