However, why bother with these finding xmms for mp3 when zenwalk , vector or most slack-based distros already come with this enabled. Did I mention my experience with installing mepis, kanotix, sbayon linux, vector soho 5.1, vector std, zenwalk, pclinuxos, elive, dreamlinux and ubuntu on my 128 MB P3 laptop. Zenwalk and Vector Soho, VL std were the champs here. They were very speedy. But if you want to know the best way to test this speed thing I am talking of. Take a DVD movie or downloaded movie and try to play them in that old laptop. You quickly realize which one handles speed better. Things tended to be faster on the slack-based ones. VL was probably fastest or tied with Zenwalk. Sabayon kde was somewhat good. It propably could be better. mepis was okay, but multimedia still rendered slow, elive was okay. The debian-based distros were slightly slower. Kanotix was the closest in responsiveness to the slack-based distros. As was mepislite. Zenwalk is more capable in my opnion. For a much newer laptop, I would say go with the xubuntu and Zen if you like. I would always take speed along with functionality over just functionality. I agree with the review to an extent.
