I run Slackware 9.0 (distrowars | /dev/null) on my Toshiba laptop, its a pentium 266 mmx, with 64mb of ram and a 4gb hdd. Obviously I need a small fast install, I have no services loaded @ startup except cardmgr for my network. My system does not run any servers at all, and I do not use XDM, I use the old fashioned method of startx :) As for apps I use, Blackbox (obviously) window manager fetchmail / procmail / mutt email client links -g web browser. Firebird web browser when links -g cant handle it multi-aterm tabbed terminal program that doesn't need GTK / QT cooledit tabbed text editor center-icq curses based IM BitchX irc client I rarely even notice that I am using an old system with the above programs. and they all load just as fast as they do on my Athlon 2200+ based FreeBSD system.
