And before *that*, it was a 64MB (or 32MB?) machine running a
15-year-old processor...
Then again, I never believed in the desktop metaphor, and have
never
seriously used Gnome or KDE or any of that fluffy stuff. I was
on VTWM
until I decided ratpoison (a mouseless WM) better suited the
way I
worked.
I am also using light window managers. Most of the time only tmux
and gvim running. I tried many WMs but if you are using it
frequently and don't like falling back to windows and such, you
need a WM working seamlessly with GUIs. Gimp is one. (You might
not believe in desktop but how would you use a program like
Gimp?) Now most of the tiling WMs suck at handling that kind of
thing. Using xmonad now, at least it has a little better support.
