I use Xfce. Got into it on my arm boards with Fedora-arm, and run it on my notebook with Fedora_x64. Thing is that it is not a group for Centos, you have to do the install by apps which I can help with, as I have installed it on a ClearOS7 server. A few things ARE missing and I really need to submit a bug report about that... But Xfce is really good to work with. Bob On 08/04/2017 05:32

I've got an old HP Netbook, which is just fine for taking with when I'm travelling, to check email and news. I have a very old Ubuntu netbook-remix on it, and it really, *really* needs to be updated to something current. I, of course, would prefer CentOS.... The question is: I see that *if* the specs I just looked up (I'm at work, not home, where I could just turn it on, but they

The hardware is 6 years old and, at the time, Tech Report called it "the best netbook we've ever tested". So it was quite good (for a netbook) at the time. Everything depends on the OP's

Dear R People: Is it possible to run R on a netbook/mini, please? Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston - Downtown mailto: erinm.hodgess at gmail.com

So, on my old Netbook, now happily running C6.9, I'm looking for opinions for a lightweight window manager. Gnome surely ain't it.... Years back, I used to like IceWM, but not sure it's been kept up. So, opinions? mark

I'm looking to replace my (old, creaky) netbook (Acer Aspire One D255e, a screaming dual core 1.6 GHz Atom, and a whole 2 gigs of RAM) with something faster but not too large. Sometimes (usually) the netbook is painfully slow. Something like a hi-res 14 (or 15) inch screen (full HD), minimum of 4 gigs RAM, HD of a half terabyte or bigger. I'd like to not have to go over 600-700 dollars,

Hi, folks, So I installed xfce on my Netbook. While I was in Chicago, I worked out how to tell it to bring it up. It came up. As root. With no obvious way to tell it to show a login screen first. Did I miss something? mark

I've got a netbook, circe 2009. When I got it, not that I was wild about ubuntu, but there was specifically an ubuntu netbook remix. Well, it's a few years later - has anyone put CentOS (6, preferably) on a netbook, and were there any problems? mark

Hi all, I'm relatively new to Ubuntu and I will most likely install WINE on my next desktop for gaming. However my present puter is an Acer netbook and I would like to run MS Paint on it. I know you will tell me there are a lot of other Ubuntu apps that can do the job but I want MS Paint and it would be nice if I didn't have to log in and out of OS's just to access MS Paint from time

Dear Olly Betts, I think the tests for the perl module Search-Xapian-1.2.21.0 might be fewer in number than the perl tests included with xapian-bindings-1.2.21. If some of the tests have similar but modified content I do not know. I am not so skilled as to interpret the compared test results. If you want to suggest a paired earlier version of Xapian to a specific xapian.bindings version, I might

I downloaded dwm and installed - all is fine. The manual says Once installed, add to your $HOME/.xinitrc exec dwm and it should start when you run startx. I did that - if I run startx this works... however - if I am running X from /etc/inittab how do I start up dwm ? Thanks, Jerry

I'm so out of it I hadn't even heard of MATE or Cinnamon. :) They seem more like DEs, what are folks using as straight window managers? I showed my son, who's only really used

I went for C6 on a Samsung NC10 (1.6GHz Atom N270 1GB RAM), only because it refused to boot off the C7 ISO for some reason, and I didn't want to

What is an alternative X window manager, supported by CentOS, that has very small memory footprint? I want to avoid twm, because it defaults to interactive placement when not giving geometry options.

--=-=-= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I think I have found a very little bug in the new version of the X11() device in R 2.7.0, more precisely in the devX11.c file. The problem is that when you open a new window with X11(), the title of the window (the WM_NAME property) is not immediately set. It seems that the window is created, then it
