It is indeed Metscape 4.61 (the one that comes with RedHat 6.1). I was
already thinking of trying NS 3.x when I read your message. Now that I'm
sure it is not so memory hungry (thanks for the tip), I'm going to start
the quest of finding and downloading it.
As for Arachne-ggi it looks that I've got everything it needs except the
ggi libraries. I'll wait for the new release then get them too.
Today I have installed something called WinLinux on a computer at my
office, primarily because I needed Linux for something called avr-gcc (a
port of gcc for Atmel AVR 8-bit RISC microcontrollers). There is also a
Win32 port done using mingw, but this doesn't matter. WinLinux is in
fact a not-so-stripped Slackware distribution of Linux which uses the
UMSDOS filesystem. This means you won't need to repartition your
hard-drive in order to install it.
Have you ever come across it? Can this be the solution for migrating from
Windows to Linux? Too bad they stripped the most part of the documentation
and furthermore, they offer only KDE (of course :-( ). And I'm
planning to do something to get rid of xdm. Those who had never seen
anything of Linux before they installed Winlinux, won't ever know there is
a text console somewhere.
