Hey everyone, nice to be here.
I've been using Ubuntu for a while now, and I find a lot to love about it. It's a great introduction to Linux, but the only thing that's less lovable is that it's such a resource hog...
I have to fall back on an old 2003 era PC with an ASRock K7VM4 motherboard, an Athlon 2400 processor (133MHz) and only 192Mb of RAM. Could anyone suggest a lighter OS I might look into? Xfce is probably the heaviest window manager it could handle, and Fluxbox seems pretty good. :)
I have to type Korean and Japanese very often, so I'd like it to have a solid text editor and support for both these languages. Japanese is probably the heaviest of these, since it needs SCIM and UIM to work properly. I don't know how common it is for other distros to pay attention to those, though.
Thanks for any help you can offer. :)
