Still, the tricky part will be to choose other gui programs that are still usable with the OP's hardware. For example, if they need a gui text editor, nedit may be light enough for such a machine (that is, if one can live without proper unicode support) and maybe xfe may still be a usable gui file manager for them. The display command provides probably a usable image viewer. Web browsers will be especially tricky. If dillo is good enough it will probably behave more or less smoothly. Using firefox would very likely be not much fun. Regards Michael .-.. .. ...- . .-.. --- -. --. .- -. -.. .--. .-. --- ... .--. . .-. Madness has no purpose. Or reason.
