[vox] Linux for 880 Mhz computers ?

[Marianne Waage]

Hi Chris,

My laptop is a P3 800, with 256MB RAM and a 30 gig disk. I've run
Debian on it since I bought it, and it's reasonably snappy, for what
I use it for.

I mostly run Firefox, SSH and Gnumeric, using (I believe) Sawfish
or Metacity and GNOME.
