Give me a break!
I'm running FC6+IceWM on a PII/366Mhz Laptop with a 10GB drive and 256MB
of memory.
You can't really get any lower then that.

Don't use GNOME, use black/fluxbox/IceWM*/etc.
Don't use gnome-terminal, use Terminal/xterm.
Don't use nautilus, use thunar.
Don't use OpenOffice, use Abiword.
Don't use kdevelop, use gvim.
etc.

Just because -I'm- using a low-end laptop doesn't mean that Fedora
should design itself around my laptop.

What is it, Bash-Fedora-Day?
