Don't mind me, but I feel compelled to quickly advocate blackbox (sure you can apt-get it too). As lightweight windowmanagers go, this is my favourite. It's insanely small (something like.. 60KB?), simple, clean, runs fast, you get the idea. Or you could go with kde1 of course ;-) Seriously though, I have a box like that (p200, 64MB ram) running as a thin client to my good machine. For my parents you see (they're new to computers, but have no trouble at all using kword, kmail & konq). Anyhow, I set this up the other day and KDE3 is liquid smooth. I swear, LTSP rocks :) So if you have have another 'good' box, on the same network, then you might consider ltsp (www.ltsp.org). You don't need to touch the HD in the p200, in fact you don't even need the HD at all :) [another nice feature. nice and quiet] Cheers, Gareth
