Edubuntu Lite?

[Tristan RHODES]

Perhaps you can install Edubuntu on a more powerful machine, and then
use the build-in LTSP aspect for the older laptop?  This thin-client
setup is what allows educators to provide the Edubuntu experience to an
entire lab of older equipment using a single server.

Thanks for a great distro! I really like Edubuntu and I've installed
Dapper
to my old Sony laptop so my kids can play around with it. The only
problem
is that even though my laptop meets the "minimum" stand-alone
workstation
requirements (it's a P3 500MHz with 192MB RAM, 9GB HD, and 128-bit/3MB
graphics), Edubuntu seems to really bog the laptop down. The mouse
cursor
movement is very herky jerky and menu items respond very slowly. Can I
reconfigure Edubuntu to "lighten it up"? Perhaps remove certain
non-essential packages? Change video drivers? Or should I consider
downloading Xubuntu instead and make it into a  "Edubuntu/Xubuntu"
hybrid?
Thanks.
