Will KDE 3.5.5 be too slow for my computer? Its a Dell Dimension Desktop, Pentium III 1.8ghz processor with 512 mb system RAM and 64 mb video RAM.

BTW, this is on a live-cd.

LiveCDs tend to run slow anyway, in my opinion.

They are good for seeing what Linux looks like, and for using in emergency situations, but I prefer hard disk installation for real Linux. I don't personally think KDE will run overly slow on your machine, though.

Yeah, its not for real use, I just want to explore linux.

It's a live CD, so the worst that will happen is your computer can't handle it and you have to re-boot. I've had some live CD's give me a screen of dots on some computers and work flawlessly on others. It really just depends it the live cd works with your graphics card.

I tried Knoppix on my old XP laptop after my cousin's husband dared me to try something new. I was a diehard Windows man. Now I wouldn't go back to Winbloat if you paid me.
