Hear that, readers? If you've got more low-end system ideas, send them to
     The Answer Gang, at [tag.png] . -- Heather

   Hi Jimmy, 

   Kudos for your articles at LG. 

   I had read LG103, enjoyed it thoroughly and read LG104 quickly and found
   good number of useful articles. Especially my pick was the Linux on Low End
   Systems  from  Answer  Gang. I have got a System having 128 MB RAM and
   unfortunately  fits  in the low end category as far as X,Gnome,kde are
   concerned.  But  instead  of spending bucks, I have been enjoying with
   elinks,mpg123,vim  and  gcc,  which are my mostly used ones. I use twm
   sometimes and have not tried others. 

   Hope to try with the suggestions given by the LG. 

   Thanks! Senthil 

   Thanks for the mail.

   If you don't mind my offering a few more suggestions, I'd like to point you
   in the direction of MPlayer for your video needs - it truly is a wonderful
   piece  of  software, and doesn't try to use more memory than it needs:
   [38]http://www.mplayerhq.hu

   There  are  a  lot  of great window managers out there with low memory
   requirements which you might prefer: FVWM ([39]http://www.fvwm.org) is
   possibly   the   most   configurable,   or   you  might  prefer  IceWM
   ([40]http://www.icewm.org) or WindowMaker ([41]http://www.windowmaker.org).

     Many of which were hotlinked in the "WM Wars" blurb of The Answer Gang
     column in our April issue. -- Heather

   The articles I'm currently trying to finish for next month's edition are
   about news aggregators and LiveJournal clients - if you have any interest in
   either of these areas, Snownews
   ([42]http://home.kcore.de/~kiza/software/snownews)      and      Clive
   ([43]http://sourceforge.net/projects/ljclive) are good CLI programs for
   these respective tasks.

   Do you mind if I forward your mail (unencrypted, of course :) to the Answer
   Gang? We like to get feedback from our readers, and I think Thomas and
   Heather in particular will be pleased to hear that the information for
   low-end systems was useful to you.

   Or, even better - you could write yourself, and offer your suggestions. The
   thread in last month's issue only focused on graphical interfaces - I'm sure
   that a great thread could come of it. You never know - you might like it,
   and become a member :)

   Thanks Jimmy for your quick reply and your suggestions. I would definitely
   try Mplayer (I have heard that Mplayer plays movie in the text mode as
   well) and fvwm. 

   The thing which interested me in TWM is its simplicity which helped me
   understand some of the underlying concepts. 

   Thomas has written enough about FVWM to make me think that it would be
   better for this than TWM.

   snownews and ljclive seems very interesting!! btw, as we are on the topic of
   blogs and RSS, have you tried Nanoblogger?
   [44]http://sourceforge.net/projects/nanoblogger 

   Wow. Looks great.

   I have used it, have involved myself with bugs and change-requests of this
   project. 

   This  is  a  very good cli based blogging utility and would definitely
   complement the topics you are writing. 

   Jimmy, if you are covering snownews,ljclive in article,I feel a section on
   nanoblogger will be informative as well. 

   It's a bit too late in the month to start looking at something new, but I'll
   have a look at it for next month.

   Jimmy,Feel free to forward the coversation to the Answer Gang and my wishes
   to Thomas and Heather for their Wonderful work. 

   Hope I would be getting more involved with LG :) 

   Cheers! Senthil

   Hi, 

   it's quite some time that I don't read the Linux Gazette. Ok, this is awful
   from my side :) 

   I've had some difficulties in sorting out which is the TRUE Linux Gazette,
   when I finally had a flash and took the one with Jim Dennis inside :) Jokes
