The old crystal ball isn't what it once was

like what?
-----------------------------------

Basically trying to remove unneeded stuff to free up room, e.g. setting 
up to basically do programming so considered 3d desktop effects to be 
unneccessary and uninstalled, remove open office, media players, extra 
language files, etc

a number of?  how many do you need?
--------------------------------------

Actually trying to work out a good light weight window manager that I 
like. Thought if I find a good one then can remove the gnome desktop 
bto free more space

Thought the os was Ubuntu 10.04 - which is it?

------------------------------

Actually when I searched for window manager in synaptic lubuntu was 
one of the listed. Actalyy a desktop 

At this point as the system hasn't anything important on it, it might be 
easier to just reinstall? and I may just stick with the gnome destktop 
whilest finding other ways to trim the system by removing unneeded 
apps etc. Setting up for programming, mainly c++ with sdl, opengl, 
and openal and using a makefile via the terminal to compile programs
