^ you're the man. And that low RAM usage is the real treat.

^ Yeah, full Xfce bloat, at 52MB of RAM! I was kinda shocked, really.

^ IIRC, the almighty baconator once wrote something about this xfce lightness. But I'm too lazy to go looking for the right quote now.

The results are in:

Debian was definitely quicker to set up, but Slackware wins for being able to print from Filemaker Pro. Although I could print from everywhere else in Debian, I couldn't get printing from FMP to work. And Slackware was noticeably faster overall. I may also try doing the same with Salix, as the setup would be faster than Slackware.

Yep, show that to the Openbox fanbois! :)

Terrific looks Bones, perfect!

Following bones example, I did something similar for a customer today.

^ Excellent!

^ actually, right after posting the scrot I found Mint-XP theme. Even more similar to Windows XP now.

agreed, really nice, and a great seamless way for XPer's to migrate.

this is alive again, after being dead for some time.
not sure if I trust the Sony Vaio.

wux, honestly, if I had such a lappy, I would probably try KDE4 on it (from siductions 'next' repos), just out of curiousity. It should run perfectly smooth on it.

Xfce w/compositing, but who needs a panel, or window decor?

@MeisterBacon, that laptop has been 'decommissioned' currently in bits on ebay, damn thing wouldn't work consistently. 8(

Sweet and dreamy - Bones!

having a look at Xubuntu as a lot of at work people run it.

I'm biased - but I prefer arrogance really.
couldn't find half the things installed using the menu bar.
works pretty nice though, a bit heavy for this old lappy.

Looks good.

Thanks, just numixed and a nice wall from the install.
main motivation was to replace windows vista, for the wife.
As vista had gone tits up a few times, her dad got a win 8 lappy (which he hates) so she got the old one.
Turns out I managed to clean vista up, to a working state and I couldn't be bothered with remote tech help, even linux style.
Shame as Xubuntu ran very nicely on the vista machine. I even got Picasa working with wine and she uses openoffice anyway.
