I've been working on this for about ten minutes, and I'm already completely satisfied with it.
I'm running Jaunty with the super light weight FluxBox desktop interface. It runs completely flawlessly, while using hardly any resources. With Firefox and XChat running, I'm only using 184 Mb RAM, and 20% of a single core Pentium 4 @ 1400 MHz. If I try that running KDE or Gnome, I max out the CPU and go into swap. Open terminal and type or copy/paste the following command to try it. CODE sudo apt-get install fluxbox After all that terminal fun, logoff, and change sessions. Log back in, and assuming you did it right, you'll be using the greatly awesome FluxBox window manager. This has been a nerd thread produced by CJ |

Trying. I couldnt get ubuntu installed on a virtual machine, and i only gave it 512 mb ram, so it needs to be faster. What virtual machine software do you use? Im using Sun virtualbox cause its free.
