You might want to try something that's more lightweight than either GNOME or KDE, like one of the blackbox clones or Window Maker. Though you might want to install some GNOME libraries, especially gtk, for those GNOME applications that need them. Of course, if you *really* want to have X perform better in a low resource situation, you'll need an OS with a decent VM, like FreeBSD. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
