Dear Saad, Thank you for your suggestion. I shall try those when I get time for playing with it again. At this moment I am mailing you using lxde in my home desktop with ubuntu hardy without any pain (as mentioned before).
But you see, in those jaunty machines, the network manager is already been installed with gnome, as I have mentioned ... when I log back to gnome it works perfectly. In those Jaunty machines, lxnm (network manager) was not installed from synaptic due to this reason. I have tried to install lxnm, but the installer said that it won't do it as it conflicts with the existing network manager. Unfortunately, these three machines in question are located in three different places. So, checking and comparing one with another is not very frequent/easy for me. Free time is very scarce for playing with these things lately. Even though I have been using ubuntu since version 6.10 RC, not being someone working with IT, I have not dared to experiment much with linux/ubuntu. Being content just being a user. Anyway, this asking was not just to enable me to enjoy lxde ... as those machines have enough resource to run the better GUI/DE (i.e. gnome). As Shabab mentioned, it is because lxde seemed a very promising desktop for thin clients(- better than xfce; and more stupid friendly than Puppy, I guess.). In my workplace, most of the machines (a few dozens) contain about 256 MB or RAM some of those are even shared by the graphics card ... only about 240 MB is left for the OS and the softwares. But as a senior member of the office I got a better PC with much better configuration (2GB RAM). One solution may be to try hardy with lxde in those machines ... but why should I defy the better versions (like jaunty, karmic koala etc) if there is a solution to that problem. I can readily suggest our network people to go with this solution to those thin machines. I shall let the community know the progress, when I can spend some time for that again (Apologies for any inconvenience). If anyone else have any experience with it, please share. Hey Shabab, cool down man! I proposed for a distro for the thin clients of typical Bangladeshi corporates with lightweight desktop managers, and the team working for bangla linux pick that idea. I really feel shy to claim that as my plan, because I am like Jobbor kaku in such technical matters... you know what I mean ;-) Best wishes. Shamim. (Miah M.
