Those are Windows programs and as far as I know there are no Linux

| Thank you it's a P3 with a 500 cpu and 350+ megs

| background programs doing different things that it's nice to

| too much slower, no more than say 10% slower if that, which is

XP.

| I see an ebay offer for Linux Mandrake 9 for $20, but when I
| asked them
| if it would run with AdSubtract banner blocker, TextAssist 4,
| MailWasher, and a few other things, they never even bothered
| to reply.
