Review: TinyFlux 1.0
,----[ Quote ]
| TinyFlux has earned my respect, and while I can't suggest it to new users, I
| can suggest it to the more seasoned user out there without hesitation. It
| should also be good to use on all those computers that have low hardware
| specs, or anything that is older and has seen greener pastures.

PCLinuxOS 2007 and Mint 4.0: ELDs?
,----[ Quote ]
| Even though these are not officially supported for Linux by Dell, both of
| these computers run it without issue. The Ubuntu Linux supported hardware is
| an Inspiron 530 N at this writing. Other than the GRUB thing on the 340, both
| these distros work great. Either one is viable as an Enterprise Linux
| desktop.

Fluxbuntu 7.10 RC review
,----[ Quote ]
| It’s Linux. It’s lightweight. You have access to Ubuntu repositories. Good
| choice of default applications. –> it’s a very good choice for old computers.
| I’m going to install it on my parent’s computer (P2 @ 400 MHz, 128 MB RAM).
| As they use it for internet browsing, Fluxbuntu seems almost the perfect
| choice.
|
| Also, some of the programs included with Fluxbuntu may be better, in some
| cases, than “classic” applications that do the same thing (Claws Mail vs
| Thunderbird or Evolution, AbiWord vs OpenOffice.org), on any distribution,.

Fluxbuntu 7.10 RC on 450Mhz K6-2, 256Mb
,----[ Quote ]
| In short, this is something that has been needed for a long time — a cool and
| clean Ubuntu derivative that’s at once lightweight and comprehensive. If
| you’re a past Ubuntu user and you have a 500Mhz machine in the closet, this
| is what you’d want on it. I would recommend this over Xubuntu for anyone in
| the sub-1Ghz range, any day of the week.
|
| Try it. You’ll like it.

A weekend with fluxbox.
,----[ Quote ]
| My biggest problem with using fluxbox is not fluxbox itself. I wanted it to
| be able to save some resources for my aging computer but I still needed to
| use KDE programs. So I checked my resource usage with pure KDE and then with
| fluxbox and KDE programs. There was no difference in resource usage.

Fluxbox on Gutsy, just to be different
,----[ Quote ]
| Just for giggles, I installed Fluxbox on Gutsy today ... which isn't
| really very daring, since the repositories have only been open for
| a day or two, and there?s very little in there that has changed.
