I've got XFCE running on a Debian "Etch" install on a 10-year-old Thinkpad 240X (500MHz P3 & 192MB RAM) and it works just fine, but I've found I don't care for XFCE all that much. For a "lightweight" GUI environment, I prefer LXDE. However, I'm trying to stick with a "pure" Openbox set up for my main system, since for the most part, I don't really need all the bells and whistles of a fancy desktop or the disk space all the libraries takes up. Thanks for the info, though. B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
