All told, SuSE have created another excellent rendition of their popular Linux distribution.

Linux : Howtos : Using CUPS with Gimp-Print
Posted: ( Sat 16th Mar 2002 06:05:08[AM] UTC )
Printing under Linux has been advancing in the last year or two. I hadn\'t really been paying much attention to this because, to be honest, I am not a heavy-duty printing person. I had, at the time, just a simple epson dot matrix printer that worked fine enough with ghostscript, although the command line was a little complex.

I am sure almost all users of the Linux OS have heard or read, at one time or other, how Linux can and is being run on old 486s with just 16MB of RAM. And if you are (un)lucky enough to know some Linux guru, he would surely have boasted of this fact (and probably more than once). Upon hearing/reading this, the question that most surely pops up in a normal user\'s mind is, \"Hey, how come my Celeron with 64MB of RAM is so slow?\" Don\'t worry, help is here.
