Hi;
I'm new to the CentOS list and I only have experience with CentOS 4.3/4.4 on desktops. I just installed CentOS 4.4 on a very old Dell Inspiron 3500 laptop. I choose the desktop option and then deleted the kde and gnome packages because I have only 192mb RAM and 4gb disk (total). I'd like suggestions on how to maximize the effective usage of the laptop with CentOS 4.4...as a minimum I want to do secure wireless web browsing. If KDE or GNOME needs more disk/RAM than I have available is XCFE the only alternative to the bleak Motif experience? I don't have any money to get a better laptop or to upgrade the RAM and/or disk at this time.
I am sorry if I am broking any netiquete of the list here,
But I recommend you. Xubuntu (http://www.xubuntu.org) DSL (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/) puppy Linux (http://www.puppylinux.org/user/viewpage.php?page_id=1)
As they are designed for small *old* PCs.
