Gnome?!?! That's like saying "all I needed was a couple of deck chairs, so I bought the Queen Mary". One step towards smaller/lighter would be the XFCE desktop instead of Gnome. While a lot smaller/faster than Gnuome, XFCE is still far from "minimal". If you want more minimal, then I'd try icewm, fvwm, or blackbox/fluxbox. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Don't hit me!!
