I switched to LINUX when my pretty *new* 386 wasn't sufficient for the 
new Mrcrosoft OS requirements. As a nice side effect the LateX version 
was capable of running more than 200 pages - unlike the DOS version, 
that stopped at 200. At that time I had been very happy about the 
performance of LINUX, making the most of my hardware.
