I liked debian, especially apt but i couldn't work out how to get kde installed with it, not that i tried to hard, but i suppose it doesn't matter now as i droped kde (resource hungry bitch of a thing).
I was running this machine as 2k, slack8 and deb2.2r2 but when i redid it i made it 98 (mm dos games) and slack8 and didn't bother with debian again, I suppose I went with slack8 because that was the one i knew better due to the fact I had been using it more. It was much easier to get X going in debian than it was slackware but. i like sifting through ./configure --help working out what options i need and can use then compiling from source sure it might take longer than using an rpm or deb, but then its tweaked for your system. I know people who have built their entire system by compiling it and have had a huge performance increase over those who used rpm's and deb's. This is the main reason i use slackware, i need to ensure I get optimal perforamnce because i have a crap machine. -- Karl Clements "Everyone is stupid, its just the degree that varies" <reply who="Andre Pang" date="Sat, 5 Jan 2002 00:55:27 +1100"> > hallo, > > i was buggering around yesterday, and found a very cute little > program called bubblefishymon. it's Yet Another System Resource > Monitor for X (CPU usage, swap memory, memory usage, network > traffic), but it kicks ass because it's a liddle fishtank instead > of looking like a boring old graph. tres groovy! > > a screenshot of the gkrellm version is at > http://www.algorithm.com.au/gkrellm-bubblefishymon.jpg > > the number of bubbles in the water represent CPU usage, the > height of the water is the memory usage, number of fishes > represent network traffic, and the colour of the water is how > deep you are into swap (blue = none, red = heavy). the duck is > just there because ducks are kewt.
