Precisely! The last two that I actually used were kcalc and kate. They have been replaced by galculator and SciTE and I am quite happy about it. Nothing left to start up artsd and interfere with my sound, or to startup a million kdeinit processes. Removing libartsc0 did a marvellous job of eliminating kde and its apps from my box.On Tue, 31 Oct 2006 13:55:40 -0800 Marc Shapiro <mshapiro_42@yahoo.com> wrote:Douglas Tutty wrote:I have been using fvwm since I started with linux and Debian about 8 years ago. That was on a 486/33MHz with 12MB of memory. I installed Debian on a 128MB removable disk. I have used KDE on a few occaisions, but I generally prefer a clear, uncluttered screen. I also don't care for all of the extra processes that get started by KDE apps, even when you are not running KDE.On Tue, Oct 31, 2006 at 03:40:48PM +0000, Clive Menzies wrote:On (31/10/06 14:51), B.

I'm very happy now but guess I may get bored and try something else but fluxbox is lean mean but pretty functional.I like basic functionality, configurability, without bloat; I have been running a 486 for years... I use icewm. It does everything I want without the struggle of adding features to a less featurful wm and is low on resource usage. It must be fast because it doesn't get in the way on the 486.One of the main reasons I don't run any kde apps. There are a few nice ones but if you start one up you then need to kill off 7 others manually when you close it.
