A Newbie's Guide To A Lo-Fat Linux Desktop

Posted by Hemos on from the lean-and-mean dept.

A reader writes:"This article is what I needed a few years ago, when I first started playing with Linux. It's about building a fast and usable desktop using software that doesn't need a squillion horsepower." Good article if you are putting together an older machine to run as a dedicated box, or what to cobble together a terminal with spare parts.

    I don't like either one of them. For a fast window manager, I like the good old FVWM. Runs fine on my old P100.
