A Mini-Kde project, was: Why Kde should remain as light as possible

[M. Fioretti]

Hello,

first of all, public thanks to Luciano for all the testing he did
after my request.

Luciano also pointed out the real limit of thin client solutions: when
you have only one limited machine, or no powerful server, they are
just not applicable, and this is where the RULE project (see my sig)
tries to help.

In that context, I have wanted for a long time to put together a web
page on RULE site devoted to how to build a mini-kde on a Linux system
which only has X or kdrive installed:

     stripped Qt
     no arts
     kmail
     koffice
     konqueror
     kopete
     kwin
     nothing else.

I will start by just pasting together all the suggestions that Luciano
and David Faure already gave to me here or privately. When online I'll
post the URL here. Any other optimization tips or further feedback to
build a basic desktop like above are welcome!

Oh, and while we're at this, let me to remember again that "what RULE
needs more is ONE TIME help by PHP/MySQL experts to rebuild the
website. Please spread the word!

Ciao,
	Marco Fioretti

Don't you wish you had more energy... or less ambition?
