| Nam | mr-angry: ahh.. thank you |
| xtlosx | especially if it's for your mom, hehe don't stick the lady with the beast gentoo |
| mr-angry | Nam: np |
| Arnie- | yeah I'd say |
| Wiiman | i'm running linspire on it now.. |
| xtlosx | xubuntu |
| Arnie- | but how about buying some more ram for little money I mean |
| xtlosx | will work just fine, xfce is light as heck |
| Wiiman | it's pc 133 |
| Arnie- | old ram is cheap |
| xtlosx | depends on what she plans to do with it.. mail and firefox doesn't take much |
| Wiiman | firefow and open office |
| xtlosx | that is true, can get it for free at a lot of IT shops, work maybe |
| Wiiman | fox* |
| brianw | pc133 is more expensive per MB. heh |
| xtlosx | hehe, ya man. try xubuntu |
| Nam | mr-angry: hmm... I just looked on my laptop, because it's doing the same thing, and there is no DPMS in that xorg.conf |
| Arnie- | 128MB is not much if you want to run FF and/or OO |
| xtlosx | oh itl'll survive |
| Adlai | wiiman, you should be fine with firefox, abiword, and gnumeric don't bother with OO use Xfce also |
| Wiiman | she needs oo for work |
| xtlosx | see. to simplify life, try xubuntu is my opinion |
| Adlai | which parts of oo? |
| Wiiman | ok |
| mr-angry | Nam: you might want to comment the DPMS option in the Device section as well |
| tooth | stick extra swap space if you have low ram. |
| Nam | mr-angry: hmm... I just looked on my laptop, because it's doing the same thing, and there is no DPMS in that xorg.conf |
| Wiiman | she needs to be able to bring home files from office like excell and access |
| Nam | no where in the entire config file |
| mr-angry | Nam: maybe the laptop has some kind of bios power management option |
| Nam | nope, just checked |
| Wiiman | hmm |
| mr-angry | Nam: you could also try disabling the ACPI service if you are running one, and or disable the ACPI in the kernel. |
| Nam | nah, that that's alright thx though |
