Re: Window managers

["Zachary Florian" <icthusianz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

got a question... does XFce ship as a standard option on any distros of
Linux? why do i ask? well because i have felt the pain of GGNNNNNNOOOOOMMEE,
how it doesn't really move quickly, how? well i first started with RH5.2 i
think it had fvwm or something like that which i installed on my celeron 333
w/32megs o'darling RAM... i ended up loosing RH5.2 and when i got my new HDD
i also attained a copy of RH6.1 i installed thinking "hey now i have 128megs
o'darling RAM, Linux should fly like nobody's business" i installed the
gnome X-window manager... i was confused because this seemed to be extremely
slooooooooooooooooowwww... perhaps i needed to optimize my system, perhaps i
didn't know how, perhaps i was incorrect in assuming more RAM was gonna help
the comp... anyhow now i've happened upon a 133 which i'd like to make into
a Linux box, it's only got 32megs o'darling RAM (so i'm amusing myself by
calling it that, oh well) and i'm wanting to have as much RAM available for
the programs as possible and not being eaten up by the GUI... a RAM hungry
GUI is part of the reason i want to escape win9x...

thanks
