  "an Ubuntu distribution with a fast and easy-to-use desktop, thanks to Fluxbox and a bunch of lightweight applications. There are other software packages you can install instead of the resource-hungry applications you may be used to: Claws as an email client, Abiword to edit and read .DOC files, Gnumeric for spreadsheets, Kazehakase as an even lighter Web browser, and Graveman for burning CDs and DVDs."

  • iDesk to give her icons on the desktop on top of the Fluxbox desktop environment
  • To provide more of a GNOME look, I installed fbpanel from the Ubuntu repositories
  • As a file manager I settled for the latest version of PCManFM (0.3.6.1).
  • Mirage, which consumes approximatively 1% more RAM than GPicView but offers many more options.
  • For video playing I used the default MPlayer with no GUI
  • Next came Decibel Audio Player.
  • For BitTorrent download I installed Deluge.
  • As a PDF viewer I replaced Acrobat Reader with ePDFView.
  • There are other software packages you can install instead of the resource-hungry applications you may be used to: Claws as an email client, Abiword to edit and read .DOC files, Gnumeric for spreadsheets, Kazehakase as an even lighter Web browser, and Graveman for burning CDs and DVDs.
