So I'm pretty sure there is interest for low profile distro.
Why not use one of them for that specific purpose? DSL is very good. I myself have Debian running on a 486 portable with 48MB of ram. Works great.
There are many more distributions out there for low end machies. SUSE is just not one of them. Yast is a big plus, IMHO and works perfectly in text mode. Don't speak of debian in this respect... (I know DSL :() jdd
Just my 2c. My basic reason is that I feel comfortable with SUSE. It is asking for very little work after installation, comparing to others. I have tried a lot distributions by now, Linux and BSD based, and most of them are good, but they all have some specific solutions. I would like not to spend time in learning how to configure computer in million ways, but rather how to use it. Most of users actually want even more, only to use a computer, that is what makes SUSE distribution popular. It is an OS and applications at once, with fairly well configured defaults for the most popular of them. I was looking on memory usage when one more KDE desktop is active (switch user), and it is not that big difference. It is the installation stage that makes trouble. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory-help@opensuse.org
