Thanks.
But how do I run x configurator?
And how much swap spce do you give to Linux? Is it correct to calculate
pt as double the ram? I have 256 MB of ram, and 512 MB of swap looks a
lot to me, can I give less to the swap and increase space to root instead?
I know these questions sound too basics for yu, sorry about tyhat. I'm
too new to Linux but sure like to try it out, thanks again.
