You should consider using LXDE as DE, which is designed for low memory and |
| 50 |
CPU usage... |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
I'm currently using it on a Celeron Coppermine @ 600Mhz with 256 of PC133 |
| 53 |
RAM and it goes fine, among with abiword, gnumeric and claws-mail for the |
| 54 |
office work, consonance for music playing, and pidgin and conspire for |
| 55 |
Instant Messaging... |
