Hello,
I saw there was a thread discussing light desktop for debian in old
mailing archives.
Here I want to open this thread again because my friends and I have
developed a new lightweight desktop environment which is really usable
and suitable for older machines.
If your aim is to make a DE that is usable on older machines, then
making it dependant on the latest packages in Sid seems
counterproductive. I was going to try just PCmanFM, but it wants
versions of packages that are newer than on my Sarge machine. I usually
just use binary .debs, but I thought that I might try to compile the
tarball. Even that wants a newer version of automake that is on my
machine. If the software cant run on the *current* *stable* OS then are
slower machines that are 7 to 8 years old with low memory and less disk
space really likely to have the resources to run it?

What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
