Are you running ancient PCs, or is there some other reason for requiring a minimalist environment? I generally don't consider KDE or Gnome bloatware... the usual usefulness-to-size ratio isn't too bad for either one... and with anything over 500Mhz, it's decently quick... bloatware is relative.. and you could even go fvwm-less if you don't have any need for a window manager at all... _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
