Lots of room but not a lot of ram right now. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135401-gateway-g6-366-desktop-pc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Adams Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's a shame I can put windows xp on this and run a youtube video no problem at all. Install Linux and try to run a youtube video and it chokes like crazy.

Elv13 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Debian+dwm+midori or arora as browser thunar or as filemanger aterm or urxvt as terminal emulator Xfbdev or xvesa as Xserver (use xfbdev only if you have an accelerated framebuffer) custom kernel I used this on a P100 + 16mb ram and it boo in 40 second to the desktop and all apps load in less than 5 sec. It is a matter of optimisation. Linux can boot with less than 1 mb of ram. On that laptop, it use 5.5mb with feh, conky, X and dwm.
