The problem is that modern UNIX GUIs do follow the hardware evolution and that users do demand run-time objects, complex interaction of tools and eye candies. That all comes with a price as desktop environments are designed to be very object oriented and thus very memory hungry. Have you tried running IceWM or fvwm2 as a window manager ? The applictions will still be a problem, but Opera and/or Mozilla Firebird could maybe work on this configuration. However :) you will need to upgrade the memory... 32MB is very little for a desktop. Small server will work (I'd still put at least 64MB into it, just to be on the safe side), I have a K6-166/64MB serving 120GB worth of files with Samba and NFS, running Squid, CVS, ssh, ISC dhcpd, Bind and Apache. It works like a charm :). -- best regards, Rok PapeÅ
