Maybe I should get a different laptop? Is a 150 mhz machine with 2 gig
hd and 32 meg ram going to be able to do the job? I'm worried now.
Hi Cecil,
I have a libretto 110: p1-166 32mb ram, 10gb (up from 2gb). I have X
with windowmaker running with mozilla-fire$PICK_ONE. Its not a speed
deamon but it works. Sounds like you'll be doing non-gui progamming
anyway unless this is some upper level class. most beginning classes in
pascal,fortran,c,c++, etc. use stdout, not gui stuff. At most, the
program may use a generic gui output method to simulate a console.
Maybe you teacher will ok you submitting a text file dump and not the
fancy screen shot.
And if you _really_ want a window manager that looks like you're
operating on the console apart from graphical output from time to time,
use ion (or ion-devel). I used that on my old laptop when I was tired of
waiting for gnome etc. and didn't want to be distracted from my thesis
work at all. If I _did_ want to be distracted, I used windowmaker with
some nice dockapps. Looks just fine!
