[ale] Laptops and Linux

[Randal Jarrett]

I'm using an old Toshiba with an AMD 450Mhz proc with 256MB ram. I don't
have Amarok on it but I did open firefox and openoffice along with
evolution and didn't have any problems.  It is a little slow but not
like you mention.  Oh, I'm running SuSe 10.0 on it.
