Perhaps you can install Edubuntu on a more powerful machine, and then use the build-in LTSP aspect for the older laptop? This thin-client setup is what allows educators to provide the Edubuntu experience to an entire lab of older equipment using a single server.
Tristan Rhodes >>> "Jim McNelis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/07/06 9:12 AM >>> Thanks for a great distro! I really like Edubuntu and I've installed Dapper to my old Sony laptop so my kids can play around with it. The only problem is that even though my laptop meets the "minimum" stand-alone workstation requirements (it's a P3 500MHz with 192MB RAM, 9GB HD, and 128-bit/3MB graphics), Edubuntu seems to really bog the laptop down. The mouse cursor movement is very herky jerky and menu items respond very slowly. Can I reconfigure Edubuntu to "lighten it up"? Perhaps remove certain non-essential packages? Change video drivers? Or should I consider downloading Xubuntu instead and make it into a "Edubuntu/Xubuntu" hybrid? Thanks.
