Old Distros with things like KDE
Do any of the old distros have things like GNOME and KDE around? Or was it just konsole?
Thanks..:newbie: |
yes, gnome and kde date back pretty far. of course, old versions of kde and gnome arent going to look anything like they do now.

Gnome and KDE have been around for use since about the spring of 1999 . Before that there were still window managers such as twm and fvwm. You would have to go way back for console only (if there was a distro release without X)..

judging from your other posts though Astrotrain, it doesn't seem like you should run either kde or gnome on the hardware you plan to use linux on.

I used KDE from the early beta days and I don't think I ever used it on anything less that a P120 with 32meg ram (which was not enough) It was better on 48meg...
I can run current version of KDE, with some tweaks, on much the same hardware, ie a P150 I have going at the moment with mkd9.2 and KDE... Well, it was a P150 but I stuck a P200mmx in it clocked at 188 at the moment... Anything less than a P120 is going to be struggling with KDE not matter what you do and I would not like chances of running KDE on even a P120 with 32meg... If you are talking less, forget it and look for a lighter system. |
