Consider using a light DE/WM or none at all because 256 MiB of RAM is very low for big desktops like GNOME or KDE. You can also use your laptop as a secondary backup server or for monitoring purposes. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
