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 |

Try su instead of sudo. Some distros are weird like that.

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.

The heck?
su: user apt-get does not exist Why in heck isnt it working? I have installed stuff on mandriva before?! Maybe its cause I am currently, guest@localhost. Cause its a virtual machine and all. How do I change my power? I am using icewm which came installed. Very snazzy. |

I use Virtualbox, because everything made by Sun is badass.
It could have something to do with being a virtual live system. Also: It's urpmi with Mandriva. |
