This works really well, I have firefox and opera browsers installed and will look at getting my favorite Seamonkey installed too sometime but isn't a priority as this machine doubles as a DNS, NTP, NFS, and Radio streaming server :-) And I only have a 35GB HD too which is peanuts considering that in my full-blown network in my other house I have round 3.2TB....... So far am only using 80-90MB RAM when X is turned off! With X on it's round ~125MB that's with running Xterm, Firefox, and Rhythmbox or even Mplayer. In my opinion it's always best to test and try out a few WM's to see which one fits the bill best, after that it's easy! Regards, Kaya
