- If you run in X windows then you can run other stuff like Netscape at the
- same time.
-
- Since you have virtual memory you can run programs that require more
- memory (and it will probably swap better than a real mac since mac's file
- and VM systems really suck)
-
- You don't need the hfv volumes since the linux filesystem can handle long
- filenames. Plus you will find that the linux filesystem is *much* faster
- than a DOS FAT system.
-
- X will be slower than SVGAlib. If your card is supported for SVGAlib then
- it should run about the same speed as in DOS. If your card is supported
- using the UniVBE thing then it might run faster in DOS.
