I'm only going to use fluxbox on occasion. I'm a KDE user for the most |
| 21 |
part, all I have had for several years actually. Someone did post a way |
| 22 |
to start fluxbox even if kdm won't start tho. I guess as long as X |
| 23 |
works, I can start fluxbox to at least be able to use google, forums and |
| 24 |
the mailing list for help. |

That said, I do like some things about fluxbox. It is seriously fast. |
| 27 |
I have a AMD 2500+ CPU with 2Gbs of ram so you can imagine how fast it |
| 28 |
is. It's fast on a 400MHz machine with a small amount of ram much less |
| 29 |
this rig. lol I may work on getting my slideshow to work on the |
| 30 |
desktop background and who knows, may have a convert. ;-) |
