Hehe :) actually I am looking forward to Indonesia a lot. I've never been to Asia but have read lots about Asia and Indonesia in the last few years - so expectations are high! I just hope that I can get used to the heat and humidity - Ireland is the total opposite to indonesia weather-wise. > > > I have been given the task to breath life back into my Girlfriend's > > family's home and office computers.

Yeah.

In my opinion Ubuntu might run too slowly on pentium 2 type machines (64 or 128 mb ram) - i have a 533mhz celeron, and it is quite slow. i'm not sure if even XFCE would be quick enough. I think stable debian may do the job, with KDE2, KDE 3 or XFCE. For mail I'm thinking of sylpheed, browser would be konqueror, i think firefox would be too slow... Office programs would be Windows 97 running under Crossover... - openoffice is probably too slow. > you can contact me as soon as you > come to jakarta if you want the (Ubuntu) CD's ! > That'd be cool if we could meet up! Do you guys meet up often?

Well you have a wiki, forum, mailing list, blog pages... etc. - it all seems very promising. > > p/s: buat yang laen; koq ga ada yang mo bales sih? tunjukkan dong > keramah-tamahan orang Indonesia!!! :) as far as i remember i got two personal off list replies from members - i'm happy with the feedback i got. -- Unsubscribe: kirim email kosong ke [EMAIL PROTECTED] Arsip, FAQ, dan info milis di http://linux.or.id/milis Tidak bisa posting?
