Thanks for the tips, but I'm curious: Which desktop distro of Linux can
run reasonably fast with X and say, a browser, in 16 MB on a P60?
I am not sure about these. But you can try link2-x11, dillo for
browsers. x11 version of link2 is close to gecko in rendering.
I second that suggestion. I run Slackware 8.1 on my old P-60
desktop (16 MB RAM), with GNUstep environment (WindowMaker, GWorkspace.app,
GNUMail.app, wdm and some wmaker dockapps). For web browsing, I would prefer
the hacked links web browser from twibright labs
( http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~clock/twibright/links/ ;) or w3mme (if
you are willing to stay happy without javascript support).
By the way, I've tweaked Slackware 8.1 on my old machine to an extent that
the last PID when I run 'ps ax' command within a terminal remains below
80 immediately after system boot. It also runs XFree86 3.3 series which is
lighter (and less featured) than XFree86 4.x or X.org series.
