[pure:dyne] installing on old hardware

[Antonios Galanopoulos]

hello,

Pure:dyne reccomended hardware is at least PIII. Most of the audio/video soft 
that comes with it will not be very usefull otherwise. It runs nicely on a bunch 
of X22 laptops that we got around here and its ok for audio but definatelly not 
for video. A very important thing to have in my opinion is RAM. finding ram for 
old salvaged computers is not hard so make sure that you top them up with as 
much ram you can get your hands.

it is super easy to cutomise p:d and change the window manager. This will make a 
huge different I think. dwm and evilwm are already in there from the small wm 
department. the rest you will have to install them.
