<br>network connection back up, or setting the time and date can be pretty<br>complicated.</blockquote><div><br> I wrote about config guis on the wiki, we need one of those like gnome-system-settings<br>at least for the network if not for all the other sysadmin things.
<br></div>I'll look into it eventually if noone else takes it.<br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I've had it on a 200 MHz AMD, with 64 Mb of RAM. With this system,
<br>Xfce performance was still acceptable. Not terrific,but good enough.<br>The real problem was that launching Firefox would take almost a<br>minute, and if I ran more than one program (ie. Firefox and GAIM and<br>Abiword) then it would have to go to swap every time I switched
<br>programs. If I just ran one program and kept that one selected, it'd<br>work fine. Even Firefox worked alright as long as I didn't have<br>anything else going.<br></blockquote></div><br>thanks<br>Jani<br>
