Actually, the only things I have installed in the way of GUIs are lxde |
| 11 |
and ion3, the first takes about 10 minutes to compile and the latter |
| 12 |
about 5 seconds. The system is very lightweight because it has to be. I |
| 13 |
also might add that if I ever try to resurrect this thing, it will |
| 14 |
probably be in order to use it as either a web-browser-only type thing |
| 15 |
or an experimental-hardware box. In both cases, it would be better as a |
| 16 |
non-~arch system. Since I have heard that the only way to go back to |
| 17 |
arch involves waiting for the installed packages to be stabilized, I |
| 18 |
would like to try that method. Do you guys have any tips for what I am |
| 19 |
supposed to do? |
