| |
I'm a new Linux user trying to make the transition from many years running windows. Since I'm having to learn *nix _and system administration at the same time I'd like to have some advice on choosing a nice, stable kernel version that gives good dial-up TCP-IP performace/stability.
I've installed the Slakeware version 3 and have XWindows running at 1.2.13. While I'm at it I might as well ask for advice on while window manager I should be working with. Is one more stable that another? have significantly less memory overhead than another?
My principle aim is a development environment for Perl scripts so I need to have access to a forms capable browser.
My system is a 486/66DX2 with 16mg ram, 24mg swap, CirrusLogic 5428 video card.
Any and all advice appreciated! --steve...
