Hi, one of those general suckless software questions: I'm in a position where I'll be both commuting a lot and needing to write a lot of text (review coments) over the coming months. I've got a "spare" old but very small, low weight notebook PC I plan to try and use. The only requirements I have are that there be a decent text editor, a filesystem that can hold several files and the ability to move files onto/off-of my permanent full-capacity PC. (I'd actually prefer not to have any other facilities.)
The obvious thing to do would be to install a standard linux distro, try and remove as many uneeded services and then just keep hibernating it. However, my experience is that linux is not particuarly snappy booting from a hibernate image, partly because there's so many programs that want to be paged back in and partly because it needs to still slowly start up any hardware it can find on the machine. I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas/experience of any more minimal solution, or if I should just go with the original plan. -- cheers, dave tweed__________________________ computer vision reasearcher: david.tw...@gmail.com "while having code so boring anyone can maintain it, use Python." -- attempted insult seen on slashdot
