Just a thought: I'm trying to strip down as much as possible the environment for my powerbook (to keep it still functional in this times of large and ram eating applications).
Now, i thought it would be nice, if lubuntu would offer something like a toolkit how to strip down - but keeoing the lubuntu look and feel. 1) To be able to do this i think one ...nice thing would be, to reduce as much as possible the dependencies (i notice that debian often has less dependencies than (l)ubuntu). I think i also understand the reason of certain dependencies from a point of a new to linux user. E.g., i do not see why gpicview is a dependency. If i try to remove it, even with 'apt-get remove --no-install-recommends' i tries to uninstall lots of other core apps. Same goes for network-manager ... 2) I experimented e.g. with tint2 instead of lxpanel and on my pb i'm able to have the same functionality (with some tricks) as lxpanel but with less use of ram. 3) A good explanation how to use pcmanfm without the desktop icon control. 4) Alternative window managers (?) (Personally i tried jwm but turned back to openbox since i don't see so much advantages. jwm is a bit faster (and very easy to configure -once you got the basics!), but for me the combo openbox/tint2 is less ram eating, more eye candy and also very fast). But may be, i'm totally wrong? Thanks for your patience anyway. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
