I looked on the maintainer webpage which seems to indicate that an IBM Thinkpad 390 Pentium MMX (233 MHZ) needs to have a patch installed for fluxbox to work. Since an MMX is somewhat slow, I was hoping to consider fluxbox or something like it instead of the heavy-duty GNOME or KDE.
I haven't heard of anything like that. I have used Fluxbox on an old IBM laptop with a Celeron (Pentium II) and it works fine. I suggest installing Fluxbox and trying it. The worst that would happen is Fluxbox might crash and you might need to restart and then select your old GUI at the login screen. I really doubt there will be any problems, though. Cheers, Kelly
