Ted is an RTF word processor. It has bold, underlining, the usual
left/centre/right margins, etc. Produces and reads RTF. Its small and fast.

It's not a word processor in the traditional sense, but LyX
(www.lyx.org) is absolutely excellent! I thoroughly recommend it to
everyone and anyone. It may take a little while to get used to, but

Hi Vlad,
What about Slackware? Its install can be adjusted to suit just about any need.
Just a word of warning - no fancy configuration tools here. Just plain
ol' text file editing. Great to understand the way it all works, but
/maybe/ not so good if you are a beginner. Still, it comes with a

You might want to take a look at xfce (www.xfce.org), which is GTK
based, looks lovely, and has a very small memory footprint.

It is, but due to its right click to do anything design, I dont really
think it is suited a laptop (same for Window Maker).
I ran a similar spec machine with the same amount of ram on knoppix. I
flagged it to use IceWM as the desk
blackbox is still the same nice fast, light window manager its always

There are quite a few forks of the code now though due to people wanting
other spiffy features that were beyond what blackbox was supposed to be.
A few of the forks are fluxbox, openbox and waimea off the top of my

blackbox was a very nice lite window manager
i think its evolved into something else now...
but yeah, stay away from kde and gnome.
also perhaps checkout www.crux.nu
its a bsd-like linux distro. havent used it, but would
like to (being a bsd4servers linux4desktops kinda guy)
