Just a thought:<br>
<br>
I'm trying to strip down as much as possible the environment for my<br>
powerbook (to keep it still functional in this times of large and ram<br>
eating applications).<br>
<br>
Now, i thought it would be nice, if lubuntu would offer something like a<br>
toolkit how to strip down - but keeoing the lubuntu look and feel.<br>
<br>
1) To be able to do this i think one ...nice thing would be, to reduce<br>
as much as possible the dependencies (i notice that debian often has<br>
less dependencies than (l)ubuntu). I think i also understand the reason<br>
of certain dependencies from a point of a new to linux user. E.g., i do<br>
not see why gpicview is a dependency. If i try to remove it, even with<br>
'apt-get remove --no-install-recommends' i tries to uninstall lots of<br>
other core apps. Same goes for network-manager<br>
...<br>
2) I experimented e.g. with tint2 instead of lxpanel and on my pb i'm<br>
able to have the same functionality (with some tricks) as lxpanel but<br>
with less use of ram.<br>
<br>
3) A good explanation how to use pcmanfm without the desktop icon control.<br>
<br>
4) Alternative window managers (?) (Personally i tried jwm but turned<br>
back to openbox since i don't see so much advantages. jwm is a bit<br>
faster (and very easy to configure -once you got the basics!), but for<br>
me the combo openbox/tint2 is less ram eating, more eye candy and also<br>
very fast).<br>
<br>
But may be, i'm totally wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your patience anyway.<br>
