   If your newsserver has enough retention the thread was 16 posts during   
   Jan 30.   
      
   Googlegroups doesn't archive this group.   
      
   This wiki was mentioned https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XubuntuLighterSpec   
   Summary - Provide fluxbox and/or IceWM as alternate environments in   
   Xubuntu, for hardware where even Xfce is too heavy. == Rationale -   
   Xubuntu needs 128M of RAM to run comfortably. Other distros such as   
   feather and puppy go much further running even in 32M, albeit with a   
   reduced functionality environment.   
      
   "Currently there are howtos on the wiki to make ice/flux work on ubuntu,   
   but they require a lot of tweaking by the user."

   There's a blog of/for icewm on xubuntu   
   http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/07/20/my-icewm-setup   
      
   There's a site with lightweight apps   
   http://users.skynet.be/six/gpure/tech/linux/apps.html   
      
   .... which also has a section "Other lists of light linux applications"
