Hi,
Hi I am looking at other peoples experience with Linux on laptops.
I am looking for practical minimum specs for reasonable
performance.
My experience:
Debian + LXDE = stable and light desktop with end-user basic needs
(automount, dual monitor settings, printing etc)
Debian + XFCE = almost the same as above, but seems to be a little heavier
Debian + IceWM = really really light one, but missing auto-stuff
Debian + Awesome = awesome, ultra-light :) but hacker friendly only
Any Debian derivative should also provide you these desktop
environments in one command/click. Don't know about other distros. IMO
LXDE is the good choice for old hardware and IceWM for very-old ones.
I've been using Debian Live + LXDE in a TP X40 running from a 4GB usb
key (broken HD) for more than 1 year.
Regards,
