All very good points, Ian.
I would add that if anyone really wants a GUI on older hardware, then a
lightweight window manager is the order of the day (IceWM being my long
time favorite). One must be careful because even some of them can be
themed to eat a lot of resources.
A modern KDE installation will work in 256 MB, but 512 or more is
better. An advantage we have here is Linux land is that we can go
all-out eye candy or slim the system as required depending on needs and
resources.
Good Linux installin' to ya! :-)
73, de Nate >>
