Seriously tho, the slowest rig I had Linux on was 133MHz. It had some really old slow drives in it, something like 15MBs/sec, and I never saw the need to disable updatedb or other indexing software. It just doesn't use that much. Anything made in the last few years should be able to handle that with no problems. Heck, my 6 year old rig does fine. Dale :-) :-)
