Yeah... I was going to mention that Ive put OpenBSD on my laptop... Ive
atually made some usable system on 300 meg hard disks (althoug more diskspace
and ram would make them a lot more usuable...)
Anyway... my OBSD laptop has webservices and a few light gui's (blackbox,
windowmaker, icewm), lots of fonts, and the gimp... The Slackware laptop has
a webserver with mysql, and php, aswell as the gimp... its a handy test
server, as well as a gimpin box. I also have a windows laptop with the gimp
(hey... the gimp runs on windows! I was surprised at how much it doesnt suck
(although it dont do gifs....)
So... 300 megs will work (Sigh... I really need bigger drives!) for a more
usable system. Im thinking of doing a new slackware system and see if I can
get kde on it (I really like konqueror and kmail...) Im using Opera on the
laptop, as its the only browser I could find that would fit (most browsers
require a lot of libraries and other dependancies... Opera is staticly linked
when compiled, and is only about 10 megs to download!
I can help install at a lug meeting or something... its not rocket science
(well.. actually rocket science is a bit more fun!).
