indeed, that actually works for an install. However, after trying such
configuration, I have notices that it will be good for only one app. at
the time + a terminal. And if you are brave to run OOO then expect a
very slow performance and, after about 20 minutes, the whole box will
get a pain-in-the-neck-slow, UNLESS you decide to install a diff.
desktop environment such as Xubuntu which will defintaley provide a much
better perfromance that lets you run at least 2 or 3 apps at the same
time.

However, we gotta leave OOO out of the equation or else, RAM will claim
for justice :)

When I tried Fluxbox and Wmaker, OOO would fly and still let me run 2
more apps (Evolution and Firefox), no RAM complaints.

BTW, I have a 500 MHz Celeron Fujitsu laptop + 256 MB of RAM.
