Currently on fluxbox with pseudo-transparent aterms. Links, or firefox if necessary. Pine for mail. And (a semi-configured) torsmo. Not really light but not too heavy. Works wonders on my Compaq laptop (coppermine). Runs a hell of a lot cooler these days (when it was still my moms (and thus, on windoze) you could cook an egg on it! =))
OT: anyone know of an app that can read/write .xls files? Outside of OO.o, I mean. ++-----Original Message----- ++From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:plug- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mhac Janapin ++Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 10:51 AM ++To: JM Ibanez; The Main Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Discussion ++List ++Subject: [plug] Re: lightweight desktop wars ++ ++mine is ION + elinks + urxvt (thanks Ed T) + adie/nano ++ ++I'm trying to save as much RAM and CPU cycles on this old laptop ;) ++ ++ ++ ++On 7/25/05, JM Ibanez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ++> On 7/25/05, Gideon N.
