Really !! I have caldera running on this 'beast', that I put together
last year
and is running at 1100 mhz, so no problems with slowness during
./configures and
compiles. Its an Abit BP6 with twin Celerons 433 overclocked to 550 and
smp
kernel 2.2.14 and 192mb Sdram; the prices here for parts are very good,
look at
gamedude.eastwind.com.au/pricesG.html (been a hardware man since 56) I
have never 
had any problems with Caldera/Kde combination since the day that I
installed it 
(2.3 & 1.1.2).

You have been more than helpful, and I am getting somewhere at last
using
your binaries. The -bin files rather than rpm as they can differ between
distros.
