Here is my suggestion: Blackbox as a windowmanager, ViM as a text editor and Opera as a browser(with Qt statically linked, you will not need the KDEbase like Konq. or the GNOME base for Galeon, saving tons of space) Mozilla is out of the question for that little memory, so is NetScape. -munir On 12 Dec 2001, Paul Harris wrote: > Hi, > > I've inherited an old laptop (Fujitsu Lifebook 520D, P120/40MB, 810MB) that I'd like to use as a browsing station and for some lite word processing. At risk of instigating a holy war, I'd welcome opinions of what window manager, browser and editor to put on it. Yes I know X places a burden on its limited resources, but a) I want a fully graphical browser, b) I like WYSIOEABARAOWYAG* text editing, and c) I like GUIs. I use Debian and KDE (KDM, Konq etc) on my main PC, but figure that KDE might be a bit heavy for this machine. The text editing doesn't need to be flash, but the more features the better. Oh, and any suggestions on partition sizes would be cool too (is that all?!) > > Cheers, Paul > > *WYSIOEABARAOWYAG = What You See Is Only Ever At Best A Rough Approximation Of What You Actually Get (read this in a mag 10 years ago and it stuck!) > > > _______________________________________________ > Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > http://www.mn-linux.org > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > --
