I'm using Arch on a old Sony Vaio: pentium II 200MHz with ~64MB of ram. It is running LXDE. It is slow to boot, but I suspend without problems (its up since a couple of month with suspend+resume each morning). It is running slow, but this machine is now my alarm clock, and it works perfectly streaming mp3 over wireless internet. I think I have opera on it, but don't ask too much for web surfing... Else, Arch is great! ;) 2009/9/17 Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@xxxxxxxxx> > On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 4:48 PM, Daenyth Blank <daenyth+arch@xxxxxxxxx<daenyth%2Barch@xxxxxxxxx>> > wrote: > > On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 17:04, Dimitrios Apostolou <jimis@xxxxxxx> > wrote: > >> The other is that I had trouble finding a truly lightweight X terminal > >> (there were times when xterm was considered bloated ;) so I packaged > myself > >> rxvt.
