- I have olwm up and running on my Linux box. It works pretty well, though a
- friend whose machine is a 386SX w. (I think) 4Mb RAM says it is unuseably slower
- than twm. On my machine (486/33 w. 8Mb RAM and an S3 card) it doesn't appear to
- be any slower. I guess you need a lot of memory... olwm does not support shared
- libraries, and so soon tends to thrash your hard disk!
-
- BTW, does anyone know how olwmslave works? I realise it's some sort of help
- thing, but I can't find anything that'll tell me how to use it!
