X is not the problem! Until a couple of month's ago my main box at home was a P200 that runs Windowmaker and Mozilla at a perfectly acceptable rate. Of course, that box has 384 MB of RAM, but the point is clock rate usually isn't the bottleneck on old hardware, memory is. I also have a 486 with 32 MB RAM that runs X fine. I won't run Mozilla locally on it, but its fine over the network. If you really can't run X on old harware, you should think about switching to a slimmer window manager. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
