but the problem is, my laptop is getting heated up like a furnace. so i need a light OS. So i tried xubuntu 8.04. still the problem persists even though the heating is reduced.
so i googled for a light window manager and got FVWM-Crystal.
following are the procedure to be followed in installing it in ubuntu.
open terminal and type
sudo apt-get install fvwm imagemagick rox-filer\ xscreensaver trayer gksu aterm habak mpd mpc
then download the crystal package
wget http://download.gna.org/fvwm-crystal/3.0.4/fvwm-\ crystal-3.0.4.tar.gz
untar it
tar xvzf fvwm-crystal-3.0.4.tar.gz
install the crystal package
cd fvwm-crystal-3.0.4 sudo make install
copy the addons
sudo cp addons/fvwm-crystal.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/
and logoff and change session to fvwm-crystal
for more helps browse into the fvwm-crystal documentation.
