Re: optimizing my debian
i would STRONGLY recomend more ram at least 128mb.. that has always made
my life easier when i go to use X..
also, i would use a different WM... my favorites are fluxbox, blackbox,
enlightenment, and icewm...
fluxbox is extra fast, and if you can enable 2d acceleration (see past
posts on how to do this) that would help a lot as well...
i have an 8500 with 192mb ram, and X works quite nicely using fluxbox as
my WM, and ETERM as my terminal of choice
good luck
