I have a very good reason for not wanting to install GNOME or another
desktop manager. I tried GNOME about a month ago, and it's performance was
similar to that of my 286 when windows 3.0 was installed on it. You really
could doze off while it was loading.
It seems like a possible spare-time (like I'll get any with 4A literature OA
chem && calculus) project of mine will be learning more about the internet
&& java and (possibly) making my own browser that fits my requirements. I
would prefer not to load anything that's non-free.
Thanks for any help,
