I agree with his last comment, if you just want to do html/php, get a lite window manager (icewm is good). kde will run on your hardware, but it will be sluggish. icewm or blackbox or something similar will be much faster. the upside of this is you can still run kde apps (or gnome for that matter) On Friday 29 March 2002 09:50 am, you wrote:

Hi all,
I just gave Linux my first try and chose SuSE for an old laptop I picked up. I'm trying to work my way around the SuSE site and also get the laptop to do something.
I have SuSE 7.3 on a P200 MMX and KDE -- I do not want an office package right now since I'm mainly interested in using it for php/html development and occasionally taking it on the road when I go out of town.
Right now I mostly want to know if this is the right list for these new to SuSE & Linux issues and if there are any good tips/hints about getting familiar with the system and the SuSE website.
My biggest problem right now is the PCMCIA card that is not recognized, so I ordered a different one that was on the official list at SuSE.
TIA
Indeed it is. Quick tip though, when posting a new topic dont select reply on someone elses message, because it buggers up our nice threaded displays...
If you just need php devel, then maybe kde is not a good idea for an old-ish laptop.
