This might be a stupid question-but...
I was wondering if there is such a distro that has a combo web browser/file manager, a terminal, and say abiword-but no X, as in no Xorg/xvesa/x11,etc.?
I am asking because I have a low-ram laptop and was wondering if such things as a web browser, etc can run without X? I'll use Slax-Frodo as an example-except It doesn't have abiword,web browser , but does have Midnight Commander. If it is possible-can someone please explain HOW? Thanks! |
could you provide specs of lappy and or a link pls.
your question is similar to what we call netbooks....and there a number of distros that do such things including ...easypeasy...puppy etc...but with x. all distros can be started as runlevel 2 etc...and text web browser you may be looking for is called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_(web_browser) |

(has graphics, ssl, javascript but no flash or java) file manager -midgnight commander http://www.midnight-commander.org/ terminal? if you don't have X then you are at a terminal, unless you mean one that can use a modem and/or seriel line in which case you want minicom http://www.midnight-commander.org/ as for a real word processor, not sure |
