Ubuntu Minimal dan IceWM

Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat sudah menyerupai kapal tanker, sementara kompie-ku masih sungai dangkal sempit, tak muat lewat! Xubuntu tak jauh beda, sementara Lubuntu masih remang-remang? (soal selera.) Akhirnya pilihan jatuh pada Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat minimal CD + X window dkk ..
