In your case regardless of the distro, choosing an approriate wm is more important. Windowmaker is a good choice but if you require more features Xfce4 would suffice. Stay away from pixmap themes if you plan to add a bit of eyecandy. Compiling a custom kernel for your machines without modules and configured specifically to your specs will reduce bloat and speed up booting. Turning off unused services will help too. good luck :D ed[!]http://i.keepsilent.net Professor at the University of my Living Room Sofa Senior Researcher of the Kitchen Refrigerator -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
