Do you have some more powerful machine in the background? If yes, you can |
| 14 |
either create binary packages on this machine and only install them on your |
| 15 |
laptop, or use distcc for moving the big compilation tasks to this other |
| 16 |
machine. |
| 17 |
Using binary packages, I can still use a Lenovo SL510, which seems to have |
| 18 |
similar properties regarding CPU and RAM than the X200, with all desktop |
| 19 |
programs, including full KDE/plasma, Firefox, libreoffice, etc. |
