Thanks, interesting. On a Samsung (with 8 gig ram) i already set swapiness to 10 (with the help of Samsung_Tools). I also removed zram because i think with that much of ram it's not really needed. The pb g4 has 2 gig of ram (which is good anyway). There, i did not touch anything. As for the dependencies: It's clear to me, that many dependencies are not "ram-sensitive", while they only take space on the hd. But often, at least to me, it's not clear if libraries that come with the dependencies are or are not needed by other applications (and calls), in certain circumstances. I'm under the impression, you have to be very deeply in to linux to fully - or only superficially - understand that ;) On the pb i chose - as i usually do - to have / and /home on different partitions. Unfortunately, the installer made an a little bit small root partition, so i try to remove all stuff i do not really need ;) BUT, as an example: On one hand lubuntu comes with network-manager which brings also gnome-bluetooth and on the other hand it installs blueman (IME preferrable, because it brings much less dependencies and it does the job perfectly may be even better :) ). What's about the combo blueman + wicd, possibly touching the icon set of wicd (personally, i'm a convinced user of ceni - but i'm aware that that isn't viable as a network manager for those new to linux. Another example, very often by dependencies there is installed yelp which in lubuntu, at least as far as i understand, is not needed. What i want to say is: I feel it might be a good idea to "clean" up the installation dependencies. Said that, i fully respect the big work of the people doing development, packaging and so on. And their limited time ... So, don't take this as a criticism rather than a wish, an extra "de luxe" ;) Cheers. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
