Turns out I was wrong, this machine only had 1GB of RAM. I started with 8
machines each having 3GB, I'd forgotten that I ended with 4 machines having
4GB, 1 with 2GB and the rest with 1GB because I didn't have them all in the
same place at the same time.
Its MUCH peppier with 4GB. Runs the fan less and so far doesn't seem to have
used any swap space. Last night I was trying to write in Google Drive while
watching YouTube and it'd run out of RAM and freeze up, no problem with that
now. antiX only seems to see 3GB but its good enough.I think when I get home
I'm going to pull the SSD out of the PC I almost never use and try it in this...

GIMP with 2GB is an experiment, if the machine works out it'll get the 4GB
currently in the other machine.One thing I'm disappointed in is the lack of
support for Mac F keys for things like volume control, Lubuntu and other
distros already have that setup. I've been playing with keyboard settings in
IceWM but not having success...

Actually, it's "MEPIS". No "H".

Sweet!

Run - yes. But you better have a swap partition of reasonable size
if you open a big image in the GIMP though. 2G for GIMP editing
is kinda tight. Unless you use an old GIMP.
